Delivering applications via an on-demand virtual machine system based on custom package repository

A computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory system comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• maintaining a global package repository corresponding to a plurality of clients and one or more custom package repositories, wherein a custom package repository of the one or more custom package repositories corresponds to a client of the plurality of clients;
• generating a client profile corresponding to the client of the plurality of clients based at least in part on a service level agreement (SLA) associated with the client;
• generating a client resource pool comprising one or more virtual machines (VMs) with different levels of computing resources to support different applications based on the client profile and the custom package repository corresponding to the client;
• receiving an application request from a user associated with the client, wherein the application request includes a request to remotely access one or more applications hosted on the custom package repository;
• determining an additional level of computing resources for fulfilling the application request, wherein the additional level of computing resources is determined based on the one or more applications requested;
• allocating the additional level of computing resources from the client resource pool to the user by starting and serving a virtual machine (VM) from the client resource pool with the additional level of computing resources;
• providing the VM to the user, wherein the one or more applications execute on the VM and are available in the VM through the custom package repository, and wherein the VM is made available to the user for remote access;
• dynamically delivering the one or more applications to the user by executing at least one application of the one or more applications within the VM, wherein the execution of the at least one application of the one or more applications may be remotely initiated via a link, an application icon, or combinations thereof within the VM;
• determining that at least a portion of the additional level of the computing resources is no longer in use;
• suspending a state of the VM based on determining the at least the portion of the additional level of computing resources is no longer in use;
• and
• deallocating the at least the portion of the additional level of computing resources from the VM to the client resource pool.
