Error recovery in a virtual machine-based development environment

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, performs an operation for error recovery in a virtual machine-based development environment, the operation comprising:
• monitoring for an error event in a first virtual machine managed by a second virtual machine hosting the virtual machine-based development environment including at least the first virtual machine;
• attempting, by a recovery agent executing on the second virtual machine, to recover the first virtual machine from the error event by performing a first error remediation procedure on the first virtual machine;
• and
• upon determining that the first error remediation procedure failed to recover the first virtual machine from the error event, attempting, by the recovery agent, to recover the first virtual machine from the error event by performing a second error remediation procedure on the first virtual machine, wherein the second error remediation procedure is more severe than the first error remediation procedure.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, performs an operation for error recovery in a virtual machine-based development environment, the operation comprising:

• monitoring for an error event in a first virtual machine managed by a second virtual machine hosting the virtual machine-based development environment including at least the first virtual machine;
• attempting, by a recovery agent executing on the second virtual machine, to recover the first virtual machine from the error event by performing a first error remediation procedure on the first virtual machine;
• and
• upon determining that the first error remediation procedure failed to recover the first virtual machine from the error event, attempting to recover the first virtual machine from the error event by performing a second error remediation procedure on the first virtual machine, wherein the second error remediation procedure is more severe than the first error remediation procedure.
