1. A method comprising:

  • receiving a request to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) in a first target cloud and a second target cloud, wherein at least one configuration parameters for the first target cloud is different from configuration parameters of the second target cloud;

    modifying, by a server computer system, a generic VM disk image that is not formatted for the first target cloud or the second target cloud to create a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud, wherein the cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud is based on the configuration parameters of the first target cloud, and the cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud is based on the configuration parameters of the second target cloud; and

    instantiating a VM in the first target cloud using the cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and instantiating a VM in the second target cloud using the cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud.
