Patent abstract
In a resource-on-demand environment, virtual machine images are validated before use. A provider or source of a virtual machine image may generate a manifest, indicating executable components of the machine image. Before use, a created virtual machine may compare its executable components with those specified by the manifest. To ensure authenticity, the manifest may be associated with a signature, and the virtual machine may use the signature to verify the manifest and the source of the machine image.
