Abstract
A virtual machine is instantiated. Execution of a virtual CPU associated with the virtual machine is monitored. It is determined, based on metadata associated with a breakpoint, whether the execution of the virtual CPU should be stopped. In response to determining that the execution of the virtual CPU should not be stopped, the execution of the virtual CPU is resumed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- instantiating a virtual machine;
- monitoring execution of a virtual CPU associated with the virtual machine;
- determining, based on metadata associated with a breakpoint, whether the execution of the virtual CPU should be stopped;
- and
- in response to determining that the execution of the virtual CPU should not be stopped, resuming the execution of the virtual CPU.

A system, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- instantiate a virtual machine;
- monitor execution of a virtual CPU associated with the virtual machine;
- determine, based on metadata associated with a breakpoint, whether the execution of the virtual CPU should be stopped;
- in response to determining that the execution of the virtual CPU should not be stopped, resume execution of the virtual CPU;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
