ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of a method of managing a computer system begins with a step of placing a virtual machine monitor on a computer. The virtual machine monitor includes an interface for a module. The method continues with a step of forming a computing platform on the computer. The virtual machine monitor provides access control to the hardware resources for software executing on the computing platform. The method concludes with a step of adding a module to the virtual machine monitor through the interface. The module modifies the access control provided by the virtual machine monitor.
