The invention provides a method for deploying a virtual machine rapidly in a smart cloud OS (operating system). In the method, terminal Linux commands and a mode of homologous snapshots are used for deploying the virtual machine rapidly. The invention has the following technical scheme as follows: on the smart cloud OS, at first, a source virtual machine is created, an operating system is installed in the source virtual machine, application software is deployed in the system, then the source virtual machine is snapshot, multiple copies of a snapshot file are copied, corresponding UUID (universally unique identifier) numbers are separately given to the snapshot files through executing the corresponding commands in distributed storage, the snapshots of the source virtual machine are set as the mirror images of other virtual machines, and thus, the same rapid deployment of the virtual machines is finished through the method of homologous mirror images. By using the method, work content is simplified, work risks are avoided, and the disk space is greatly saved as the homologous files are used.
