Abstract
Systems and methods for deploying a virtual machine (VM) on a host are provided. An exemplary method comprises notifying a host to download a master copy of a VM image from a remotely located network storage device, in response to a service provider providing a definition manifest for a service request supported by the VM, wherein the host deploys the VM directly from the VM image downloaded to a storage medium locally connected to the host machine, wherein deployment of the VM allows the host to locally service the service request associated with the definition manifest, wherein the host replicates copies of the VM image, in response to receiving additional service requests to create one or more VM clones; wherein the host customizes the one or more VM clones based on the definition manifest.
