Subject: RE: [id-cloud] Gap Analysis Note: Use Case 1: Application and Virtualization Security in the Cloud
Hyper-V also uses UUID's for VMs... one issue is (or at least was, some time back) whether a new UUID is generated or not when a VM is moved to another host. -Peter -----Original Message----- From: id-cloud@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:id-cloud@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Anil Saldhana Sent: 20 October 2011 15:04 To: id-cloud@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [id-cloud] Gap Analysis Note: Use Case 1: Application and Virtualization Security in the Cloud During the last meeting, I had asked the question about whether VMs had unique identifiers. I was able to get some information on this from the Red Hat Virtualization folks. They have listed the various identifiers for VMs here: https://github.com/matahari/matahari/wiki/UUIDs From what I see, there is no real standard for VM IDs. All of them use UUIDs which is fine. But I am unsure if there is any standard in virtualization that specifies how and what constitutes the VM identifiers.
