How Do I Deploy a Virtual Machine?

If it's a personal machine, everything's just set up from scratch. At skeling, we have a gold image that's basical is a zetifaend file.

For things that are a little bit both complex and cookie cutter, i guess, like you deploy a lot of em in the giant pain to set up.
