Hi, you can't set (yet) any dynamic context variable. All you can do is to set some "static" variables in the template of your VM. Via Hooks, you may be able to catch the information (getting all context data of the VM), and register it in a db/file/... then your VM, once booted, could try to access this data. However, your VM network should not depend on the host running the VM.
