Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system creates a first template VM that includes a first OS VMDK and a first software binary VMDK, and clones the first template VM to create a linked clone VM. The linked clone VM executes a guest OS by accessing the first OS VMDK and a software application by accessing the first software binary VMDK. The computer system further creates a second template VM that includes a second software binary VMDK, where the second software binary VMDK includes one or more upgrades to the software application that are not included in the first software binary VMDK. The computer system then detaches the first software binary VMDK from the linked clone VM and attaches the second software binary VMDK to the linked clone VM. The linked clone VM thereafter executes the software application by accessing the second software binary VMDK.

Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中，计算机系统创建包括第一OS VMDK和第一软件二进制VMDK的第一模板VM，并克隆第一模板VM以创建链接的克隆VM。 链接克隆VM通过访问第一软件二进制VMDK来访问第一OS VMDK和软件应用程序来执行客户操作系统。 计算机系统还创建包括第二软件二进制VMDK的第二模板VM，其中第二软件二进制VMDK包括不包括在第一软件二进制VMDK中的软件应用程序的一个或多个升级。 然后，计算机系统从链接的克隆VM中分离第一软件二进制VMDK，并将第二软件二进制VMDK附加到链接的克隆VM。 然后，链接克隆VM通过访问第二软件二进制VMDK来执行软件应用。

Abstract: An example method is provided to perform policy-based data placement in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise receiving a request to create a virtual disk for a virtual machine in the virtualized computing environment. The request may include a usage type associated with the virtual disk. The method may further comprise, based on a data placement policy associated with the usage type, determining a datastore on which to place the virtual disk and to store data of the usage type associated with the virtual disk.
