Abstract
The techniques described include a method and system for allowing applications which require or work better with different virtual machines to be successfully installed on a device in such a way that different applications may be executed in different virtual machines. The method comprises identifying an application and based on the identification, identifying the virtual machine which is best suited to execute the application. The application is installed such that the application is executed in the identified virtual machine when the application is launched.
Claims20
A method of allowing applications to be executed in a specified virtual machine, the method comprising:
- identifying an application;
- identifying a virtual machine best suited to execute the application:
- and
- installing the application, wherein the application is executed in the identified virtual machine when the application is launched;
- wherein an application installer is programmed to:
- perform the identifying of the application;
- perform the identifying of the virtual machine best suited to execute the application;
- and
- perform the installing of the application such that the application is executed in the identified virtual machine when the application is launched.
A system for allowing an application to be executed in a specified virtual machine, the system comprising:
- memory configured to contain an application and a virtual machine;
- and
- a processor configured to execute instructions, wherein the instructions:
- identify the application;
- identify the virtual machine best suited to execute the application;
- and
- install the application such that when the application is launched, the application is executed in the identified virtual machine;
- wherein the processor executes an application installer, whereby the application installer is programmed to:
- perform the identifying of the application;
- perform the identifying of the virtual machine best suited to execute the application;
- and
- perform the installing of the application such that the application is executed in the identified virtual machine when the application is launched.
A device that utilizes virtual machine specification, the device comprising:
- memory configured to contain an application and a virtual machine;
- and
- a processor configured to execute instructions, wherein the instructions:
- identify the application;
- identify the virtual machine needed to execute the application;
- and install the application such that when the application is launched, the application is executed in the identified virtual machine;
- wherein the processor executes an application installer, whereby the application installer is programmed to:
- perform the identifying of the application;
- perform the identifying of the virtual machine best suited to execute the application;
- and
- perform the installing of the application such that the application is executed in the identified virtual machine when the application is launched.
