Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for executing a remote session in a virtualized environment. The described technique may be used when handling a request to launch a remote session using a specified virtual template. A virtual machine (VM) type associated with the virtual template and that indicates hypervisor compatibility of the virtual template may be determined. A destination hypervisor is selected for executing the remote session. If VM type is not compatible for execution on the destination hypervisor, a converted, native VM image file is generated which is compatible with the destination hypervisor. The remote session is then launched on the destination hypervisor using another VM executed using the converted VM image file.
