PAUSING DEPLOYMENT OF A VIRTUAL MACHINE PRIOR TO A MACHINE NAME DEPENDENCY

Abstract:

Techniques are described herein that are capable of pausing deployment of a pre-provisioned virtual machine. Deployment of a virtual machine on a computing system is initiated. The deployment of the virtual machine is paused, prior to execution of code that depends on a name of the virtual machine, to wait for receipt of user-specific setting(s) of the virtual machine. The deployment of the virtual machine is continued based at least in part on receipt of the user-specific setting(s). Continuing the deployment includes configuring the virtual machine to have at least one of the user-specific setting(s).
