Estimating the term…
A virtual machine data handling system includes a data handling system, a hypervisor, and a dynamically deployed virtual machine. The data handling system includes a plurality of physical computing resources (e.g., a processor and a memory). The hypervisor is implemented by the processor and the memory and deploys virtual machines from a master image. The dynamically deployed virtual machine is initially deployed by the hypervisor as a Linked Clone of the master image. The dynamically deployed virtual machine is subsequently dynamically deployed by the hypervisor copying a plurality of virtual memory segments from the master image until the dynamically deployed virtual machine is an independent Full Clone of the master image. The hypervisor may copy the plurality of virtual memory segments from the master image if at least one of the physical resources is operating below a utilization threshold.
A virtual machine data handling system comprising:
A computer program product for dynamically deploying a virtual machine, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable to cause a hypervisor implemented within a data handling system comprising plurality of physical computing resources to:
