Health monitoring of applications in a guest partition

A computer-readable storage device, storing thereon processor-executable instructions, that when executed perform a method, the method comprising:

• configuring a guest partition as an independent execution environment to execute at least one application, the guest partition including a guest integration component;
• monitoring, by a virtualization platform, execution of the application, the virtualization platform independent of the guest partition;
• detecting, via the guest integration component, at least one event associated with execution of the application;
• applying, by the guest integration component, a first remedial action to remedy the event;
• determining, via the virtualization platform, a second remedial action to remedy the event after the first remedial action fails;
• and
• applying the second remedial action.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory unit coupled to the processor, the memory unit having:
• at least one guest partition and a virtualization platform, the guest partition operating independent of the virtualization platform, the guest partition including an application and a guest integration component, the guest partition configured to operate independent of the virtualization platform;
• wherein the guest integration component detects at least one event requiring remediation to the application and applies a first remedial action,
• wherein the virtualization platform determines a second remedial action for the at least one event when application of the first remedial action is unsuccessful, and
• wherein the guest integration component applies the second remedial action.
