The present disclosure relates to dynamic software configuration. In some embodiments, a client device of a plurality of client devices requests a configuration. The request may comprise information identifying an environment of the client device. In some embodiments, the configuration request is compared to a baseline configuration and a custom configuration. The baseline configuration may comprise values corresponding to a plurality of dynamic properties, and the custom configuration may comprise values corresponding to a subset of the plurality of dynamic properties. Device. In some embodiments, upon determining, based on the comparing, that the custom configuration is applicable to the environment of the client device, the client device is provided with a client configuration comprising the values from the baseline configuration wherein the values of the subset of the plurality of dynamic properties are replaced by the values from the custom configuration.

The present disclosure relates to live support integration in a virtual machine based development environment. According to one embodiment, a method generally includes obtaining, by a virtual machine in the virtual machine based development environment, a token from a secure location. In some embodiments, upon determining, that the token is authentic, the virtual machine determines system configuration information relating to the virtual machine. In certain embodiments, the virtual machine establishes a communication channel with a remote support device using the token. The establishing may comprise transmitting, by the virtual machine, the system configuration information to the remote support device and enabling two-way communication between the virtual machine and the remote support device.

The present disclosure relates to error recovery in a virtual machine-based development environment. An example method generally includes monitoring for an error event in a virtual machine managed within a development environment. The development environment attempts to recover the virtual machine from the error event by performing a first error remediation procedure on the virtual machine. Upon determining that the first error remediation procedure failed to recover the virtual machine from the error event, the development environment attempts to recover the virtual machine from the error event by performing a second error remediation procedure on the virtual machine. The second remediation procedure may be a procedure that is more severe than the first error remediation procedure.

Error recovery in a virtual machine-based development environment

The present disclosure relates to providing a virtual development environment by receiving a request for a development environment from a user, identifying resources from the request and resource on which the requested resource depends, and obtaining virtual machine images for each resource from a repository. The virtual machine images are executed in separate virtual machines to provide a development environment and related resources to the user.

Using virtual machines to manage other virtual machines in a development environment

The present disclosure relates to managing service dependencies in a virtual machine-based development environment. An example method generally includes retrieving information identifying one or more service dependencies for a first service hosted by a virtual machine being instantiated in a development environment. For each service dependency of the one or more service dependencies, a service dependency manager identifies whether the service dependency is accessible by the first service in the development environment. Upon determining that the service dependency is not accessible by the first service in the development environment, the service dependency manager spawns an instance of the service dependency and connects the service dependency to the virtual machine hosting the first service. If the service dependency is accessible by the first service in the development environment, the service dependency manager connects the service dependency to the virtual machine hosting the first service.
