摘要

The management of a virtual machine is disclosed. A virtual machine can be identified that is configured in accordance with a cloud management scheme. A processor of a computing system can abstract differences of management protocol between cloud management schemes. The processor can reconfigure the virtual machine in view of the abstracted differences. An instance of the reconfigured virtual machine can be created.
