  • Managing a virtual machine instance
    Patent number: 9483316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to mechanisms for managing VM instances. More specifically, the mechanisms provide at least one VM instance in a resource pool. A configuration requirement is provided with respect to a virtual machine, the configuration requirement describing a first amount of application resources to be installed on the virtual machine. Based on the configuration requirement, a resource tree is built describing a dependency relation between the first amount of application resources. At least one VM instance corresponding to a sub-path of the resource tree is provided in the resource pool, where on each VM instance in the at least one VM instance there are installed application resources included in the sub-path.
