Explanation

Cloud providers should also support secure use of virtualization for cloud users. This means creating a secure chain of processes from the image (or other source) used to run the virtual machine all the way through a boot process with security and integrity. This ensures that tenants cannot launch machines based on images that they shouldn’t have access to, such as those belonging to another tenant, and that a running virtual machine (or other process) is the one the customer expects to be running.
