Summary:In a virtual computing environment, a system configured to switch between isolated virtual contexts. A system includes a physical processor. The physical processor includes an instruction set architecture. The instruction set architecture includes an instruction included in the instruction set architecture for the physical processor that when invoked indicates that a virtual processor implemented using the physical processor should switch directly from a first virtual machine context to a second virtual machine context. The first and second virtual machine contexts are isolated from each other.
