Abstract
Prior to a first primary machine image being cloned to a first secondary machine image and a second primary machine image being cloned to a second secondary machine image, a controller determines that the first primary machine image communicates with the second primary machine image. Cloning of the first primary machine image to the first secondary machine image and of the second primary machine image to the second secondary machine image is such that communication from the first secondary machine image to the second primary machine image is not directed to the second secondary machine image. Afterwards, a software agent running on the first secondary machine image changes a global machine image-wide hostname file at the first secondary machine image, so that the communication from the first secondary machine image to the second primary machine image is now directed to the second secondary machine image.
