1. A method executed by a processor of managing a configuration of a virtual machine, the method comprising: analyzing a configuration of a first computing system to identify a native configuration related to a first virtual machine; analyzing a second computing system to determine whether or not to use the native configuration to configure a second virtual machine on the second computing system, wherein if a hypervisor instance running on the first computing system is the same as a hypervisor instance running on the second computing system, then use the native configuration to configure the second virtual machine, otherwise do not use the native configuration to configure the second virtual machine; and if the native configuration is selected to configure the second virtual machine then copy the native configuration from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine, and if the native configuration is not used to configure the second virtual machine then using the native configuration information to a) create intermediate configuration information, wherein the intermediate configuration information includes configurable parameters that are common to the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine, and b) using the intermediate configuration information to configure and establish the second virtual machine on the second computing system.
