Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for implementing enhanced deployment of a virtual machine (VM) in a cloud environment. VM boot profiling is performed and used for providing VM image download prioritization. The VM boot profiling facilitates the transfer of the earliest needed portions of the VM image first, allowing the VM to boot and begin operating quickly while the later needed portions of the VM image are still transferring.
