Abstract: A rapid virtual machine (VM) cloning technique is provided that creates cloned VMs on hosts from multiple source VMs, rather than a single source VM that may otherwise be a bottleneck. The described technique selects particular hosts, disposed in particular racks, on which to create VM clones in a dynamic manner that reduces total deployment time for the plurality of VMs. A rapid VM reconfiguration technique is also provided that reduces the time spent reconfiguring the provisioned VMs for use in a distributed computing application.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种快速虚拟机（VM）克隆技术，它可以在多个源虚拟机的主机上创建克隆的虚拟机，而不是可能成为瓶颈的单个源虚拟机。 所描述的技术选择放置在特定机架上的特定主机，以动态方式创建VM克隆，以减少多个VM的总部署时间。 还提供了快速的VM重新配置技术，其减少了重新配置所配置的VM以在分布式计算应用中使用的时间。
