Patent number: 10445121Abstract: A computer system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) in a first target cloud and a second target cloud. The target clouds operate with different configuration parameters. The system modifies a generic VM disk image that is not formatted for the first or second target cloud to create a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud. The first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the first target cloud configuration parameters, and the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the second target cloud configuration parameters. The system instantiates a VM in the first target cloud using the first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image and a VM in the second target cloud using the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Red Hat Inc.Inventors: Ian Scott McLeod, Steven M.

Patent number: 9519472Abstract: A server computing system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine in a cloud. The request is associated with a template that specifies the operating system and software packages to be installed on the virtual machine. The system splits the installation of the virtual machine into creating a minimal operating system installation, customizing the minimal installation, and generating a disk image of the customized minimal installation. The system creates a minimal installation of the specified operating system, executes the minimal operating system in a virtual machine guest, and customizes the minimal installation of the operating system as specified in the template. The system generates a virtual machine disk image of the customized minimal installation that is a cloud generic virtual machine disk image an is configurable to instantiate the virtual machine in clouds provided by different cloud providers.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2011Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Ian Scott McLeod, Christopher Lalancette
