Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting, selecting and running environments on a host device is provided. In general, in one aspect, a computer implemented method is provided. The computer implemented method includes detecting a device including a plurality of platform specific virtual machine monitors, identifying a virtual machine monitor that is compatible with a specified platform; and enabling a launch of the identified virtual machine monitor on the specified platform. In another aspect, a computer implemented method includes detecting a first device including one or more environments, launching an application on a second device, and using the application to collect a list of stacks, collect a list of environments, and determine environments capable of running on a stack. The method further includes receiving a selection of an environment and a stack, and running the selected environment on the selected stack.
