SYNCHRONISATION OF LIFE CYCLES OF VIRTUAL MACHINE AND APPLICATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G06F9/44 

FIELD: information technologies.

SUBSTANCE: virtual environment may be configured to coordinate life cycles of virtual machines and applied software executed on it. In one realisation the virtual environment includes a level of applications and a level of virtual machines. The level of applications interacts with the level of virtual machines to coordinate and manage creation and removal of the virtual machine in a coordinating manner with applied software. For instance, the level of applications accepts a request for initiation of applied software. The level of applications determines the type and/or number of virtual machines to be created from associated properties of the application. The level of applications then manages creation of suitable virtual machines (by means of the level of virtual machines) and additionally manages installation of applied software on it. When removal of applied software from created virtual machines is detected, the level of applications may automatically manage removal or disconnection of the appropriate virtual machine.

EFFECT: efficient management of creation, operation and disconnection of virtual machines in an organisation.
