inputting at least a portion of the host user context configuration into a translation matrix to identify a configuration service provider (CSP)-based profile that is mapped to a policy of the at least one policy; and

transmitting, to the guest management agent, a command to enforce the CSP-based profile on the managed virtual machine.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the host user context configuration comprises at least one application executed separately from the managed virtual machine on the host device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the guest management agent, a command to provision an application of at least one application to the managed virtual machine.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the host device, a user approval of an application that is provisioned to the managed virtual machine; and

transmitting, to the host device, a command to delete a host-based copy of the application from a file system of the host device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying that a threshold percentage of the at least one policy of the host user context configuration are implemented as CSP-based profiles of the guest user context configuration; and

identifying that a threshold percentage of host-based applications are included in the managed virtual machine.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a transition from the first management service to the second management service is completed; and

reimaging the host device based on the managed virtual machine.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a transition from the first management service to the second management service is completed; and

imaging another host device based on the managed virtual machine.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions executable by at least one computing device wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

receive, from a host management agent executed by a host device separately from a managed virtual machine executed by the host device, a host user context configuration comprising at least one policy of a first management service;

receive, from a guest management agent in the managed virtual machine, a guest user context configuration comprising at least one profile, wherein the guest management agent is associated with a second management service;

input at least a portion of the host user context configuration into a translation matrix to identify a configuration service provider (CSP)-based profile that is mapped to a policy of the at least one policy; and

transmit, to the guest management agent, a command to enforce the CSP-based profile on the managed virtual machine.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the host user context configuration comprises at least one application executed separately from the managed virtual machine on the host device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

transmit, to the guest management agent, a command to provision an application of at least one application to the managed virtual machine.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

receive, from the host device, a user approval of an application that is provisioned to the managed virtual machine; and

transmit, to the host device, a command to delete a host-based copy of the application from a file system of the host device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

identify that a threshold percentage of the at least one policy of the host user context configuration are implemented as CSP-based profiles of the guest user context configuration; and

identify that a threshold percentage of host-based applications are included in the managed virtual machine.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

determine that a transition from the first management service to the second management service is completed; and

reimage the host device based on the managed virtual machine.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

determine that a transition from the first management service to the second management service is completed; and

image another host device based on the managed virtual machine.

15. A system, comprising:

at least one computing device comprising a processor; and

instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and accessible by the at least one computing device, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the at least one computing device to at least:

receive, from a host management agent executed by a host device separately from a managed virtual machine executed by the host device, a host user context configuration comprising at least one policy of a first management service;

receive, from a guest management agent in the managed virtual machine, a guest user context configuration comprising at least one profile, wherein the guest management agent is associated with a second management service;

input at least a portion of the host user context configuration into a translation matrix to identify a configuration service provider (CSP)-based profile that is mapped to a policy of the at least one policy; and
