Summary:Technical solutions are described for extending shrouding capability of a virtual server hosting system. An example method includes receiving a request to deploy a shrouded virtual server using a predetermined set of hardware components, and using a shrouded mode. The method also includes adding a guest server to the hosting system, the guest server including the predetermined set of hardware components. The method also includes deploying a preconfigured hypervisor on the guest server, where the preconfigured hypervisor is deployed in an immutable mode that disables changes to security settings of the preconfigured hypervisor. The method also includes deploying, by the preconfigured hypervisor, a preconfigured boot image as an instance of the virtual server on the preconfigured hypervisor. The method also includes sending an identifier of the virtual server for receipt by the client device.
