MACHINE IDENTITY PERSISTENCE FOR USERS OF NON-PERSISTENT VIRTUAL DESKTOPS

摘要

Examples perform creation of a non-persistent virtual machine with a persistent machine identity associated with the user of the virtual machine, to provide consistent virtual desktop sessions to the user. Some examples contemplate that the machine identity is inserted into a virtual machine created through cloning, forking, or from a virtual machine pool.

1. A system comprising:
a memory area associated with a computing device, said memory area storing a plurality of machine identities, each machine identity of the plurality of machine identities associated with one of a plurality of users; and a processor programmed to:
receive a request from one of the plurality of users for a virtual desktop session;determine the machine identity associated with the user;identify a virtual machine (VM);insert the determined machine identity into the identified VM; andprovide the identified VM with the inserted machine identity to the user.
