1. A method comprising:
- monitoring a virtual infrastructure comprising a plurality of virtual machines and virtual objects for an event affecting at least one of the virtual machines and/or virtual objects within the virtual infrastructure;
detecting an occurrence of the event;
converting the at least one affected virtual machine and/or virtual object from its internal representation within the virtual infrastructure into a scripting representation using a scripting format;
selecting a script compatible with the scripting format; and
executing the script against the at least one affected virtual machine and/or virtual object represented in the scripting format.
