Hardware partitions for a cloud server

A method, comprising:

• partitioning a plurality of processor cores into one or more partitions;
• configuring a distributed virtual memory (DVM) interposer to include a first partition identifier associated with a first partition of the one or more partitions;
• configuring the DVM interposer to perform a preventative action in response to receiving a first DVM message that includes a second partition identifier that differs from the first partition identifier;
• configuring an interrupt interposer to be associated with a first processor core of the plurality of processor cores, the first processor core belonging to the first partition;
• and
• configuring the interrupt interposer to prevent a first interrupt originating from the first processor core from being provided to a processor core that is outside of the first partition.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations, comprising:

• partitioning a plurality of processor cores into one or more partitions;
• configuring a distributed virtual memory (DVM) interposer to include a first partition identifier associated with a first partition of the one or more partitions;
• configuring the DVM interposer to perform a preventative action in response to receiving a first DVM message that includes a second partition identifier that differs from the first partition identifier;
• configuring an interrupt interposer to be associated with a first processor core of the plurality of processor cores, the first processor core belonging to the first partition;
• and
• configuring the interrupt interposer to prevent a first interrupt originating from the first processor core from being provided to a processor core that is outside of the first partition.
