A method to create virtual machines is provided. An initially empty primary copy-on-write (COW) image of a base disk image is created, and an initially empty secondary COW image of the primary COW image is created. A virtual machine is booted from the secondary COW image. Writes by the virtual machine are stored in the secondary COW image. When the secondary COW image reaches a capacity threshold, data of the secondary COW image is committed into the primary COW image and then the secondary COW is cleared of data.

Creating virtual machines

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for network access control (NAC) in roaming services. In embodiments of the present invention, roaming quarantine access policies and roaming secure access policies are defined on access devices to control access of roaming terminals, instead of defining unified access policies on network-wide access devices. Embodiments of the present invention allow each branch network to enforce and update access policies as needed without restrictions of network identification and adaptation, making it easier to implement NAC on a distributed network, and improving NAC development. Embodiments of the present invention provide widely applicable, easy-to-implement NAC solutions for roaming.
