Abstract
Techniques are provided for deploying virtual machines to a virtualization management environment using an agent component to obtain remote virtual machine templates. One method comprises receiving, by an agent component executing in a virtualization management server, a request to deploy a virtual machine and a storage location of a template for the virtual machine; obtaining the template for the virtual machine from one or more of an orchestration engine and a remote data source identified by the storage location; and replicating the obtained template for the virtual machine to create the virtual machine. The request to deploy the virtual machine may also comprise deployment information used to configure the virtual machine. The agent component may monitor an execution of the created virtual machine and evaluate one or more policies provided by the orchestration engine with respect to security controls and/or network requirements associated with the created virtual machine.
