Techniques for package injection for virtual machine configuration

An apparatus for managing a virtual machine environment, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, at a cloud application configured for managing a plurality of virtual machines and from a first virtual machine, an indication of one or more configuration parameters associated with the first virtual machine;
• generate, by the cloud application, an executable package based on metadata associated with the first virtual machine, wherein the executable package is configured to be executable by a set of default drivers on a second virtual machine upon bootup of the second virtual machine to configure the second virtual machine in accordance with the one or more configuration parameters;
• and
• transmit, to the second virtual machine, the executable package for configuring the second virtual machine in accordance with the one or more configuration parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for managing a virtual machine environment, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• receive, at a cloud application configured for managing a plurality of virtual machines and from a first virtual machine, an indication of one or more configuration parameters associated with the first virtual machine;
• generate, by the cloud application, an executable package based on metadata associated with the first virtual machine, wherein the executable package is configured to be executable by a set of default drivers on a second virtual machine upon bootup of the second virtual machine to configure the second virtual machine in accordance with the one or more configuration parameters;
• and
• transmit, to the second virtual machine, the executable package for configuring the second virtual machine in accordance with the one or more configuration parameters.
