    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for restoring virtual machines. A described technique includes receiving location data specifying a location of a mobile device of a user. A first distance between the mobile device and a first data center that stores a virtual machine template and a snapshot associated with the user is determined. The snapshot represents a state of a virtual machine. A second distance between the mobile device and a second data center that is different from the first data center is determined. A determination is made that the mobile device of the user is closer to the second data center than the first data center. In response to determining that the mobile device is closer to the second data center than the first data center, the snapshot is transferred from the first data center to the second data center.

    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for modifying a state of a virtual machine, information between two states of a virtual machine is compared, wherein the two states include a current state of the virtual machine and previous state of the virtual machine. The previous state of the virtual machine is included within a snapshot of the virtual machine at the previous state. Information that is different between the two states is identified. The information that is different between the two states is presented, wherein the information that is different is selectable for copying between the two states.

    Abstract: A method of restarting a virtual machine (VM) running in a cluster in a first data center, in a second data center, includes: transmitting images of VMs, including a first VM, running in the cluster of hosts at a first point in time to the second data center for replication in the second data center; generating difference data representing a difference in an image of the first VM at a second point in time and the image of the first VM at the first point in time; transmitting the difference data to the second data center; setting the first VM to be inactive in the first data center; and communicating with a control plane in the second data center to set as active, and power on, a VM in the second data center using the replicated image of the first VM updated with the difference data.

    Abstract: A method of restarting a virtual machine running in a cluster of hosts in a first data center, in a second data center, wherein each virtual machine is assigned a priority level, includes: transmitting virtual machines images running in the cluster at a first time to the second data center; selecting virtual machines to be restarted in the second data center according to priority levels assigned; and for each selected virtual machine, (a) generating difference data in an image of the selected virtual machine at a second time and at the first time, (b) transmitting the difference data to the second data center, (c) setting the virtual machine inactive in the first data center, and (d) communicating with the second data center to set as active; and power on, a virtual machine in the second data center using the image of the virtual machine transmitted to the second data center.
