  • Stateless virtual machine
    Patent number: 9116724
    Abstract: Some embodiments of using snapshotting and virtualization to perform tasks in a known and reproducible environment have been presented. A computing device generates a temporary snapshot of a state of a virtual machine. A session of the virtual machine is started on the computing device using the temporary snapshot. The temporary snapshot is automatically destroyed when the session is terminated, wherein any changes made to the state during the session are removed by destroying the temporary snapshot.
    Type: Grant

  • USING SNAPSHOTTING AND VIRTUALIZATION TO PERFORM TASKS IN A KNOWN AND REPRODUCIBLE ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20100293144
    Abstract: Some embodiments of using snapshotting and virtualization to perform tasks in a known and reproducible environment have been presented. In one embodiment, a pristine snapshot of a first virtual machine in a computer file system is stored in a computer-readable storage medium. The pristine snapshot represents a known environment. A processor clones the pristine snapshot to generate a copy of the pristine snapshot, and starts a second virtual machine using the copy of the pristine snapshot to reproduce the known environment for executing an operation.
