Claim 15:
16. A processor-readable storage medium, having stored thereon processor-executable code that, upon execution by at least one processor, enables actions, comprising:
reconfiguring a virtual network configuration from a first virtual network to a second virtual network for a first virtual machine that is executing on a first virtual machine host, wherein the first virtual network is a placeholder virtual network, and wherein the reconfiguring includes:
changing, in the first virtual machine host, a mapping configuration from the first virtual network to the second virtual network by reprogramming drivers in the first virtual machine host for route mapping for the second virtual network based on user-specific network settings;
causing, at an agent in the first virtual machine and based on changing the mapping configuration from the first virtual network to the second virtual network, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) retrigger without rebooting the first virtual machine to bring the first virtual machine to the second virtual network;
providing a configuration file to the first virtual machine, wherein the configuration file includes the user-specific network settings; and reconfiguring the first virtual machine in accordance with the user-specific network settings.
