Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for launching multiple software virtual appliances inside a single virtual environment. In one aspect, a method includes detecting a base image on which a plurality of virtual appliances are based, wherein each of the plurality of virtual appliances is configured to be launched in a separate virtual environment. The method includes preparing a virtual environment that is compatible with the base image. For each respective virtual appliance in the plurality of virtual appliances, the method includes calculating a differential between the base image and the respective virtual appliance, and including the differential in a patch file. The method includes applying the patch file to the base image to form a final appliance, and launching the final appliance in the virtual environment.
