A virtual environment can be configured to coordinate life cycles of virtual machines and application programs executing therein. In one implementation, the virtual environment includes an application layer and a virtual machine layer. The application layer communicates with the virtual machine layer to coordinate and directs virtual machine creation and deletion in a coordinated fashion with application programs. For example, the application layer receives a request to initiate an application program. The application layer determines from associated application properties the type and/or number of virtual machines to be created. The application layer then directs creation of the appropriate virtual machines (through the virtual machine layer), and further directs installation of the requested application programs therein. When detecting removal of the application program from the created virtual machines, the application layer can automatically direct removal or decommissioning of the corresponding virtual machine.

Un environnement virtuel peut être configuré pour coordonner des cycles de vie de machines virtuelles et de programmes dapplication sexécutant sur celles-ci. Dans un mode de réalisation, lenvironnement virtuel comprend une couche application et une couche machine virtuelle. La couche application communique avec la couche machine virtuelle pour coordonner et dirige la création et la suppression dune machine virtuelle de manière coordonnée avec des programmes dapplication. Par exemple, la couche application reçoit une demande dexécution dun programme dapplication. La couche application détermine le type et/ou le nombre de machines virtuelles à créer à partir des propriétés dapplications associées. La couche application dirige ensuite la création des machines virtuelles appropriées (via la couche machine virtuelle), et linstallation des programmes dapplication requis sur celles-ci. Lors de la détection de la suppression du programme dapplication des machines virtuelles créées, la couche application peut diriger automatiquement la suppression ou la mise hors service de la machine virtuelle correspondante.
