Patent attributes
Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software to handoff virtual machines between hypervisors. In one implementation, a method of transitioning a virtual machine from a first hypervisor to a second hypervisor includes identifying a request to transition the virtual machine from the first hypervisor to the second hypervisor. The method further provides determining security trust requirements for the virtual machine, and exchanging trust information between the first hypervisor and the second hypervisor. The method further provides determining if the second hypervisor can support the virtual machine based on the security trust requirements and the trust information, and transitioning the device to the second hypervisor if the second hypervisor can support the virtual machine.
