Optimized remediation policy in a virtualized environment

1. A method comprising:

a first host system including a processor, a first resource, a second resource, a first virtual machine, and a second virtual machine, wherein the first virtual machine is associated with the first resource and not with the second resource, and the second virtual machine is associated with the second resource and not the first resource;

a second host system; and

a remediation module that:

receives an event generated by the first resource; in response to

determining that the event is received from the first resource and functionality of the first resource is diminished;

identifying hardware and software instances of the first resource on which the event was generated;

determining the first virtual machine is impacted by the received event;

captures a processing state of a workload operating on the first virtual machine, wherein the workload represents a processing environment and one or more processing tasks;

migrates the first virtual machine to the second host system; and

reproduces the captured processing state on the migrated first virtual machine on the second host system;

wherein the first host system continues to run the second virtual machine and launches a third virtual machine associated with the second resource in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and not the second virtual machine.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first host system further includes an application programming interface (API) that receives the event from the first resource and sends the event to the remediation module.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein:

the API further provides information to the remediation module, wherein the information identifies one of a hardware instance and a software instance of the first resource.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein:

the first host system further includes a virtual machine manager (VMM); and

the remediation module further:

provides the information to the VMM; and

receives an indication that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect the second virtual machine from the VMM, wherein migrating the first virtual machine is based upon the indication.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

a migration module that migrates the first virtual machine to the second host system.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the first host system further includes a fourth virtual machine associated with the first resource and not with the second resource;

the remediation module further migrates the fourth virtual machine to the second host system in response to determining that the event is received from the first resource.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a virtualized environment manager, wherein the remediation module is included in the virtualized environment manager.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remediation module is included in the first host system.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, at a remediation module, an event generated by a resource of a first host system;

determining that the event is received from the resource and functionality of the resource is diminished;

identifying hardware and software instances of the resource on which the event was generated;

determining a first virtual machine is impacted by the received event;

capturing, by the remediation module, a processing state of a workload operating on the first virtual machine of the first host system, wherein the workload represents a processing environment and one or more processing tasks;

migrating the first virtual machine from the first host system to a second host system in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect a second virtual machine;

reproducing the captured processing state on the migrated first virtual machine on the second host system;

running, on the first host system, the second virtual machine in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and not the second virtual machine; and

launching a third virtual machine on the first host system in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and not the second virtual machine.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, at an application programming interface (API) the event from the resource; and

sending the event to the remediation module.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

providing, by the API, information to the remediation module, wherein the information identifies a hardware instance and a software instance of a resource.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

providing the information to a virtual machine manager (VMM); and

sending, to the remediation module, an indication that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect the second virtual machine, from the VMM, wherein the determining, by the remediation module, that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect the second virtual machine is based upon the indication.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

migrating a third virtual machine from the first host system to the second host system in response to determining that the event affects the third virtual machine.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the remediation module is included in a virtualized environment manager.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the remediation module is included in the first host system.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code for performing a method, the method comprising:

receiving, at a remediation module, an event generated by a resource of a first host system;

determining that the event is received from the resource and functionality of the resource is diminished;

identifying hardware and software instances of the resource on which the event was generated;

determining a first virtual machine is impacted by the received event;

capturing, by the remediation module, a processing state of a workload operating on the first virtual machine of the first host system, wherein the workload represents a processing environment and one or more processing tasks;

migrating the first virtual machine from the first host system to a second host system in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect a second virtual machine;

reproducing the captured processing state on the migrated first virtual machine on the second host system;

running, on the first host system, the second virtual machine in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and not the second virtual machine; and

launching a third virtual machine on the first host system in response to determining that the event affects the first virtual machine and not the second virtual machine.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , the method further comprising:

receiving, at an application programming interface (API) the event from the resource; and

sending the event to the remediation module.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , the method further comprising:

providing, by the API, information to the remediation module, wherein the information identifies a hardware instance and a software instance of a resource.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , the method further comprising:

providing the information to a virtual machine manager (VMM); and

sending, to the remediation module, an indication that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect the second virtual machine, from the VMM, wherein the determining, by the remediation module, that the event affects the first virtual machine and does not affect the second virtual machine is based upon the indication.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , the method further comprising:

migrating a third virtual machine from the first host system to the second host system in response to determining that the event affects the third virtual machine.
