VMware publishes vShpere 4.0 Hardening Guide
VMware has released public drafts of the vSphere 4.0 Security Hardening Guides. This set of documents provides guidance on how to securely deploy vSphere 4.0 in a production environment. The focus is on configuration of the virtualization infrastructure, which covers the following:
- The virtualization hosts (both ESX and ESXi)
- Configuration of the virtual machine container (NOT hardening of the guest OS or any applications running within)
- Configuration of the virtual networking infrastructure, including the management and storage networks as well as the virtual switch (but NOT the virtual machine’s network security)
- vCenter Server and its database
- VMware Update Manager (included because the regular update and patching of the ESX/ESXi hosts and the virtual machine containers is essential to maintaining the security of the environment)
