1. A method comprising: transmitting, from a client device, a request to a computing platform to provide a virtual machine (VM) image from the client device to the computing platform; receiving, from the computing platform, an application to upload the VM image from the client device to the computing platform, wherein the application is configured to (i) reconstitute the VM image from a first compressed stream at the client device and perform error detection of the VM image during reconstitution at the client device, and (ii) upload the VM image from a second compressed stream at the client device to the computing platform; reconstituting, via the application, the VM image from the first compressed stream at the client device; while reconstituting the VM image, performing, via the application, error detection of the VM image from the first compressed stream at the client device; and while performing error detection of the VM image, uploading, via the application and over a network, the VM image from the second compressed stream at the client device to the computing platform.
