    Patent number: 11436036
    Abstract: An application is provided as a compound virtual appliance having components to be hosted by virtual machines. Each component includes a set of virtual machine disks. Partial versions of the components are created by removing from each component each virtual machine disk determined to be a duplicate of a virtual machine disk of another component. A compact version of the compound virtual appliance is created by packing together the partial versions of the components and a single copy of each virtual machine disk having been determined to be a duplicate. The compact compound virtual appliance is deployed to a customer site. At the customer site, a complete version of the compound virtual appliance is reconstructed by adding back the single copy of each virtual machine disk having been determined to be a duplicate into each component having had the duplicate virtual machine disk removed.
