Abstract

The disclosed implementations are related to trace-assisted prefetching of a virtual machine from a network resource to improve interactive performance of the virtual machine on a host device. Trace patterns can be automatically uploaded to a network resource, which aggregates the patterns, and serves the patterns back to the host device, or a different host device, when the host device downloads a virtual machine for the first time.
