Just-in-time assembly for managed virtual machines

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions executable by at least one computing device wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

• execute a managed virtual machine on a host desktop hypervisor on a host computing device, the host computing device including a host operating system executing a host management agent, the managed virtual machine including a guest operating system executing a guest management agent;
• receive, by the guest management agent from a management service over a network connection, a command to update a user context configuration of the managed virtual machine;
• in response to receiving the command to update the user context configuration of the managed virtual machine, establish an inter-process communication (IPC) channel on the host computing device between the guest management agent and the host management agent;
• transfer the command to update the user context configuration of the managed virtual machine from the guest management agent to the host management agent over the IPC channel on the host computing device;
• issue, by the host management agent to the host desktop hypervisor, a command to take the managed virtual machine offline;
• apply, by the host management agent, one or more updates to the user context of the offline managed virtual machine based on the command;
• and
• issue, by the host management agent to the host desktop hypervisor, a command to relaunch the managed virtual machine that includes the one or more updates to the user context configuration.

A system, comprising:

• a host computing device;
• and
• instructions accessible by the host computing device, wherein the instructions are executed causing the at least one computing device to at least:
• execute a managed virtual machine on a host desktop hypervisor on the host computing device, the host computing device including a host operating system executing a host management agent, the managed virtual machine including a guest operating system executing a guest management agent;
• receive, by the guest management agent from a management service over a network connection, a command to update a user context configuration of the managed virtual machine;
• in response to receiving the command to update the user context configuration of the managed virtual machine, establish an inter-process communication (IPC) channel on the host computing device between the guest management agent and the host management agent;
• transfer the command to update the user context configuration of the managed virtual machine from the guest management agent to the host management agent over the IPC channel on the host computing device;
• issue, by the host management agent to the host desktop hypervisor, a command to take the managed virtual machine offline;
• apply, by the host management agent, one or more updates to the user context of the offline managed virtual machine based on the command;
• and
• issue, by the host management agent to the host desktop hypervisor, a command to relaunch the managed virtual machine that includes the one or more updates to the user context configuration.
