| 1. A processor implemented method for creating a restartable execution environment, with minimal outage, comprising:
starting an operating system process including an associated address space;
creating a virtual machine inside the operating system process, wherein the virtual machine is dedicated to the operating
system process;
checking for an exception state in the virtual machine;
upon detecting the exception state, automatically terminating the virtual machine, without terminating the operating system
process and leaving the associated address space intact; and
automatically instantiating a new replacement virtual machine within the operating system process using the intact associated
address space, upon terminating the virtual machine.
