Take the 2-minute tour ×  if running a Virtual Machine on my
Server in an external data center, is it possible to secure it
in such a way that not even physical access could be a security
leak? E.g. the administrator cannot access my VM?  Thanks,
heinrich!  share|improve this question add comment  migrated

Answers  up vote 2 down vote accepted  You can encrypt its
(virtual) hard disc and lock the console down (NB: it won't
boot-up without a password entered), but you can't stop the host
machine admin obtaining the contents of memory (or indeed the
password, as they can log the virtual keyboard if they want).
If someone gets access to the VM host, all bets are off.

have the root access? –  Heinrich Dec 8 '10 at 21:34 @Heinrich:
If someone else has physical access, then you don't control the
host. –  caf Dec 9 '10 at 2:29 add
