Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for restoring virtual machines. A described technique includes receiving location data specifying a location of a mobile device of a user. A first distance between the mobile device and a first data center that stores a virtual machine template and a snapshot associated with the user is determined. The snapshot represents a state of a virtual machine. A second distance between the mobile device and a second data center that is different from the first data center is determined. A determination is made that the mobile device of the user is closer to the second data center than the first data center. In response to determining that the mobile device is closer to the second data center than the first data center, the snapshot is transferred from the first data center to the second data center.
