Abstract
The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for composing a virtualized computing environment. Specifically, under the present invention, data and a definition file that contains application runtime requirements for the data are stored on a portable memory device. Application runtime requirements can be anything related to an environment in which the data was previously used. When the portable memory device is received in a computerized device, an auto-insert script can be executed that signals a provisioning system and/or transports the definition file to the provisioning system. The provisioning system will then interpret the definition file on the computerized device to retrieve the application runtime requirements. Then, the virtualized computing environment will be composed by adapting an environment of the computerized device according to the application runtime requirements retrieved from the definition file.
