摘要： Installation files are annotated, which annotations may trigger system snapshots to be taken at a plurality of points during the execution of the installation files and/or collected. During a test run, the generated snapshots are examined incrementally to determine whether the installation is success or failure at that point. Checkpoint snapshots are stored, and those indicating failure are recorded with description of the error and/or remediation that suggest how the errors may be resolved or fixed. During a production run, the annotated installation files may be executed and the checkpoint snapshots generated during the production run may be compared with those stored of the test run to incrementally identify and resolve potential problems in the production run.

摘要： A plurality of master desktop images for a plurality of users are stored at a plurality of geographically diverse data centers. At a first one of the data centers, a virtual desktop is constructed for a remote client. The virtual desktop is constructed from a given one of the master desktop images at the first one of the data centers and an individualized delta image for a user associated with the remote client. When it is determined that the remote client is at a geographical location wherein the first one of the data centers is not the closest one of the data centers to the remote client, the virtual desktop for the remote client is reconstructed at a second, closest, one of the data centers. The virtual desktop is reconstructed from a given one of the master desktop images at the second one of the data centers and the individualized delta image for the user associated with the remote client. A copy of the individualized delta image is moved from the first one of the data centers to the second one of the data centers to facilitate reconstructing the virtual desktop.

摘要： Techniques for dynamic management of virtual machine environments are disclosed. For example, a technique for automatically managing a first set of virtual machines being hosted by a second set of physical machines comprises the following steps/operations. An alert is obtained that a service level agreement (SLA) pertaining to at least one application being hosted by at least one of the virtual machines in the first set of virtual machines is being violated. Upon obtaining the SLA violation alert, the technique obtains at least one performance measurement for at least a portion of the machines in at least one of the first set of virtual machines and the second set of physical machines, and a cost of migration for at least a portion of the virtual machines in the first set of virtual machines. Based on the obtained performance measurements and the obtained migration costs, an optimal migration policy is determined for moving the virtual machine hosting the at least one application to another physical machine.
