Cloud.

You have an app running somewhere on a cloud, internally or externally 
(you may not even know).  It's running a production workload and it 
isn't doing well.  You can't reproduce it on your desktop ("works for 
me, now go away").  So you rdesktop to your guest and monitor it.

You can't run anything on the host - you don't have access to it, you 
don't know who admins it (it's a program anyway), "the host" doesn't 
even exist, the guest moves around whenever the cloud feels like it.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
