1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a data processing system;

    a non-transitory, computer readable memory coupled to the data processing system; and

    logic, stored on the computer-readable memory and executed on the data processing system, for;

    instantiating a first virtual appliance and a second virtual appliance, both with a basic configuration, onto the data processing system,determining, in response to the instantiating, a value of a first environmental feature of a virtual data processing environment associated with the first virtual appliance;

    correlating the first environmental feature with a second environmental feature defined in a descriptor deployed with the first virtual appliance to identify a first software program;

    determining, in response to the instantiating, a value of a third environmental feature of a second virtual data processing environment associated with the second virtual appliance;

    correlating the third environmental feature with the second environmental feature defined in a descriptor deployed with the second virtual appliance to identify a second software program, wherein the first and second software programs are different software programs;

    downloading the first software program into the first virtual processing environment; and
