Still Waiting 45+ Minutes for Dev/Test VMs?
Manual provisioning wastes hours on dev, test, and staging environments.
Common VM provisioning scenarios
Organizations like these face VM provisioning challenges daily
Small Dev Team
10 VMs per week
Half a day lost to setup
MSP Provider
Client environments
Each takes an hour minimum
Consulting Firm
Demo environments
Hours before each meeting
IT Services
2hr deploy minimum
Client VMs on demand
Small Dev Team
10 VMs per week
Half a day lost to setup
MSP Provider
Client environments
Each takes an hour minimum
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.

Why VM provisioning takes so long
Manual processes that don't scale
Slow VM Deployment
1 hour per VM deployment - copying templates, manual setup
→ Teams blocked, projects delayed, productivity lost
Configuration Drift
No two VMs are identical, despite best efforts
→ Production issues, debugging nightmares
Knowledge Loss
Expertise walks out the door with people
→ Constantly reinventing the wheel
Repetitive Work
Same configurations, built from scratch
→ Wasted effort, human error
Bottlenecks
Only VM experts can provision environments
→ Teams waiting, productivity lost
Scale Failure
Manual processes can't keep up with demand
→ Innovation blocked by infrastructure

Automate your VM deployment
Perfect for dev, test, staging, training, and POC environments
Manual VM Creation
- ✗Open Hyper-V Manager
- ✗Click through 15+ dialogs
- ✗Install Windows manually
- ✗Configure each setting by hand
- ✗Install software one by one
- ✗Document steps (if you remember)
Automated with Eryph
- Write simple YAML config
- Run one PowerShell command
- Template is fetched automatically
- Settings applied from code
- Software pre-installed
- Config IS the documentation

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.
