Job Sandboxing
› Protect machines from jobs h Both accidental and malicious damage
› Machine owners more willing to run unfamiliar jobs

www.cs.wisc.edu/Condor
Checkpoint and Migration
› State of entire VM (OS and all) is recorded
› VM can be checkpointed for… h Failure recovery h Migration to other
machines
