Still Waiting hours for VM Clones?
While you wait for that progress bar, your developers are blocked, deadlines slip, and frustration mounts.
Slow deployment is universal
Every Hyper-V user faces the same pain
Dev Teams
85 min clones
Eager-zeroed disks
QA Testing
40 min boot time
Just 2 Windows VMs
IT Services
Half day setup
New client environment
Training Labs
Weekend prep
30 student VMs
Dev Teams
85 min clones
Eager-zeroed disks
QA Testing
40 min boot time
Just 2 Windows VMs
The Pattern
Every organization hits the same wall: Manual VM provisioning doesn't scale. What starts as "just a few VMs" becomes a full-time job, blocking your team from actual work.
Ready for 5-minute Hyper-V deployments?
Skip the waiting, keep the control. Your Windows expertise + automated speed.
Why Hyper-V deployment crawls
Traditional methods hit every performance bottleneck
Disk I/O Bottlenecks
Copying 50GB+ VHDs at disk speed limits
→ 45-85 minute wait times
Manual Configuration
Click through wizards for every VM
→ Human speed limitations
Sequential Processing
One VM at a time, no parallelization
→ Linear time scaling
Full Copies Required
Differencing disks too slow/complex
→ Massive storage waste
Post-Deploy Setup
Still need to configure after cloning
→ Another 30+ minutes
Resource Contention
Storage, CPU, memory all maxed
→ Everything slows down
Disk I/O Bottlenecks
Copying 50GB+ VHDs at disk speed limits
→ 45-85 minute wait times
Gene-based instant deployment
Build once, deploy anywhere in a few minutes

How the gene system works
1. Start with a gene
Choose a proven template from the genepool or create your own
2. Add what's different
Inherit base configs, customize only what you need
3. Deploy in minutes
Your improvements become new genes others can inherit
Real example: Deploy an Ubuntu web server from YAML
# Deploy Ubuntu web server from YAML:
# Perfect for dev, test, and staging workloads
$webServer = @"
name: web-server-01
parent: dbosoft/ubuntu-2204/latest
# Configure web server stack
fodder:
- source: gene:myorg/ubuntu-nginx-base
variables:
- name: site_name
value: myapp.local
"@
# Deploy it
New-Catlet -Config $webServer | Start-Catlet
# Done! Ubuntu web server ready in minutes.
