Storing Extended Information on Virtual Machines and ContainersSometimes, it may be difficult to remember the information on certain virtual machines and Containers. The probability of this increases together with the number of virtual machines and Containers and with the time elapsed since their creation.

The description can be any text containing any virtual machine or Container related information. For example, you can include the following in the virtual machine or Container description:
Let us assume that you are asked to create a virtual machine for a Mr. Johnson who is going to use it for hosting the MySQL server. So, you create the
# prlctl set MyVM --description "MyVM > owner - John Johnson > purpose - MySQL server hosting" - This command saves the following information related to the virtual machine: its name, owner, and the purpose of its creation. At any time, you can display this information by issuing the following command: # prlctl list -o description MyVM MyVM owner - John Johnson purpose - MySQL server hosting When working with virtual machine or Container descriptions, keep in mind the following:
