Abstract
A server computer system determines that configuring a first virtual machine in a cloud depends on a configuration result of configuring a second virtual machine. The server computer system configures the second virtual machine in the cloud and configures the first virtual machine in the cloud using the configuration result of the second virtual machine.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, that configuring a first virtual machine instantiated on one or more physical machines in a cloud depends on a configuration result of configuring a second virtual machine instantiated on the one or more physical machines in the cloud;
- determining the configuration result by configuring the second virtual machine;
- and
- configuring the first virtual machine based on the configuration result.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor to:
- determine that configuring a first virtual machine instantiated on one or more physical machines in a cloud depends on a configuration result of configuring a second virtual machine instantiated on the one or more physical machines in the cloud;
- determine the configuration result by configuring the second virtual machine;
- and
- configure the first virtual machine based on the configuration result.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine that configuring a first virtual machine instantiated on one or more physical machines in a cloud depends on a configuration result of configuring a second virtual machine instantiated on the one or more physical machines in the cloud;
- determine the configuration result by configuring the second virtual machine;
- and
- configure the first virtual machine based on the configuration result.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- generating, by a processor, a value for at least one parameter to be used in configuring a second virtual machine hosted by one or more physical machines in a cloud by executing a post-boot configuration script associated with a unique identifier of a first virtual machine hosted by the one or more physical machines in the cloud, wherein the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine are instantiated prior to configuring the first virtual machine and prior to configuring the second virtual machine;
- and
- providing the at least one parameter value to a server.
