Abstract: In an example, a management node includes a version rollback module to receive a request to upgrade a distributed computing system. Further, the version rollback module may upgrade the distributed computing system including a first service and a second service to a second version while retaining the first version of the first service and the second service. Upon upgrading the distributed computing system, the version rollback module may detect an issue associated with the second version of the first service. Upon detecting the issue, the version rollback module may perform a rollback operation to roll back the first service to the first version while retaining second version of the second service.

Abstract: In one set of embodiments, an enhanced next generation anti-virus (NGAV) system is provided. In certain embodiments, this system includes a hypervisor-level agent that backs up VM data only when an instance of a guest application running in the VM has been flagged by the NGAV system as being potentially malicious (rather than on a constant, proactive basis). Further, the hypervisor-level agent performs this backup only with respect to data modified by that specific guest application instance (rather than backing up all data modified by the VM) and writes the backed-up data to a secure storage location which is inaccessible to the guest. The combination of these features addresses many of the problems and inefficiencies of existing NGAV systems.

Abstract: A next generation antivirus (NGAV) security solution in a virtualized computing environment includes a security sensor at a virtual machine that runs on a host and a security engine remote from the host. The integrity of the NGAV security solution is increased, by providing a verification as to whether a verdict issued by the security engine has been successfully enforced by the security sensor to prevent execution of malicious code at the virtual machine.
