MECHANISM FOR HOST MACHINE LEVEL TEMPLATE CACHING IN VIRTUALIZATION ENVIRONMENTS

A computing device receives a command to start a virtual machine, the virtual machine having a read-only layer and a copy-on-write (COW) layer. The computing device accesses the COW layer of the virtual machine from a network storage. The computing device determines whether the read-only layer of th...

Zusammenfassung:A computing device receives a command to start a virtual machine, the virtual machine having a read-only layer and a copy-on-write (COW) layer. The computing device accesses the COW layer of the virtual machine from a network storage. The computing device determines whether the read-only layer of the virtual machine is cached in a local storage. Upon determining that the read-only layer of the virtual machine is cached in the local storage, the computing device starts the virtual machine based on a combination of the downloaded COW layer and the cached read-only layer of the virtual machine.
