Abstract
Example systems and methods of managing installation of applications are described. In one implementation, a repository stores data associated with multiple application instances. An orchestrator analyzes application instances running on multiple provisioned virtual machines and identifies at least one unused virtual machine among the multiple provisioned virtual machines. The orchestrator terminates processes running on the unused virtual machine and clears data associated with the unused virtual machine. The cleared virtual machine is added to a virtual machine pool for use by another application instance.
