A computer-implemented method for managing virtual machine information in a cloud computing environment includes receiving, at a web server, an indication from a user to import an image of a virtual machine to a cloud in the cloud computing environment. The image may be uploaded to storage isolated to the user. At least one descriptor in the image may be parsed in a computer process to identify information (e.g., image meta-data) associated with an infrastructure service to be provided to the user. An infrastructure service item may be created in a computer process, corresponding to an instance of the infrastructure service. The service item is created based on the information identified by the parsing, e.g., by storing the image meta-data. The infrastructure service item may be inserted into an infrastructure service catalog of the user. |
