Abstract: A virtualized computing system supports the execution of a plurality of virtual machines, where each virtual machine supports the execution of applications therein. Each application executes within a container that isolates the application executing therein from other processes executing on the computing system. A hierarchy of virtual machine templates is created by instantiating a parent virtual machine template, the parent virtual machine template having a. guest operating system and a container. An application to be run in a container is determined, and, in response, the parent virtual machine template is forked to create a child virtual machine template, where the child virtual machine template includes a replica of the container, and where the guest operating system of the parent virtual machine template overlaps in memory with a guest operating system of the child virtual machine template. The application is then installed in the replica of the container.

Abstract translation: 虚拟化计算系统支持执行多个虚拟机，其中每个虚拟机支持其中的应用的执行。 每个应用程序在一个容器内执行，将在其中执行的应用程序与在计算系统上执行的其他进程隔离。 通过实例化父虚拟机模板创建虚拟机模板的层次结构，父虚拟机模板具有一个。 客户操作系统和容器。 确定要在容器中运行的应用程序，作为响应，分配父虚拟机模板以创建子虚拟机模板，其中子虚拟机模板包含容器的副本，以及客户机操作系统 的父虚拟机模板与子虚拟机模板的客户机操作系统在内存中重叠。 然后将应用程序安装在容器的副本中。
