Abstract: Generating, configuring, and deploying virtual machines may be a time consuming and mundane process. Accordingly, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for provisioning virtual machines through an automated process. In particular, a centralized manager may receive requests to initialize virtual machines on target hosts. The centralized manager may generate provisioning jobs based upon such requests. Because the virtual machines may initially have generic configurations so that the virtual machines are not tied to particular target hosts and/or subnets, the centralized manager may retrieve virtual machine personalities for the virtual machines. The centralized manager may send provisioning jobs to provisioning virtual applications located throughout a network computing environment. A provisioning job may instruct a provisioning virtual application to initialize a virtual machine on a target host using a virtual machine personality.
