Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for automated configuration of a set of resources for hosting a virtual machine at a particular node in a hosting system. The hosting system includes several nodes for hosting virtual machines. The method, at a first virtual machine operating using a first set of resources of the particular node, receives a user-specified virtual machine configuration for a second virtual machine to be hosted on a second set of resources of the particular node. The method retrieves, to the first virtual machine, a software image from a computer readable hardware medium storing several software images based on the user-specified virtual machine configuration. The method modifies the retrieved software image according to the user-specified virtual machine configuration. The method configures the second set resources using the modified software image.
