Abstract: A system and method for protecting entities of an availability zone include creating, by a policy engine associated with a virtual computing system, a protection policy definition for replicating a first set of entities of a first availability zone of the virtual computing system to a second availability zone of the virtual computing system. Each of the first set of entities is associated with a first common tag and the first set of entities are spread across first multiple clusters of the first availability zone. The system and method further include capturing, by the policy engine, a first plurality of snapshots of each of the first set of entities in the first availability zone in accordance with a first recovery point objective parameter and storing, by the policy engine, at least one copy of the first plurality of snapshots in the second availability zone.

Abstract: Particular embodiments comprise (1) a cluster of host machines, each comprising at least one virtual machine (VM), one or more virtual infrastructure elements, and one or more required drivers for implementing the virtualization environment, and (2) a target host machine capable of implementing the virtualization environment based on a second platform, wherein the target host machine comprises at least one VM and one or more virtual infrastructure elements. A management module for the system performs steps to move one of the VMs from the cluster of host machines to the target host machine by checking whether the target host machine comprises one or more required drivers for implementing the virtualization environment and, if the target host machine comprises the one or more required drivers, activating the one or more required drivers, and sending a confirmation signal back to a control plane in the cluster of host machines.
