Caching and analyzing images for faster and simpler cloud application deployment
First Claim
1. A method, stored as program code on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the program code executable by a plurality of processors, the method comprising:
- analyzing a first cloud node, associated with a first version of a service, to extract first configuration metadata;
analyzing the first cloud node, associated with a second version, subsequent to the first version, of the service, to extract second configuration metadata;
determining based upon a comparison of the first configuration metadata and the second configuration metadata, that a first application package common to the first cloud node and the second cloud node has not been modified between the first version and the second version;
generating a first cloud image of the first application package in response to the determining that the particular software package has not been modified; and
caching the first cloud image for distribution in response to a request for deployment of the service.

Abstract
Techniques provide include analyzing a first node, associated with a first version of an service, to extract first configuration metadata; analyzing the first node, associated with a second version, subsequent to the first version, of the aservice, to extract second configuration metadata; determining, based upon a comparison of the first configuration metadata and the second configuration metadata, that the first node has not been modified between the first version and the second version; generating a first image of the node for distribution in conjunction with the service in response to the determining that the particular node has not been modified; and caching the first image for use in conjunction with the service.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor; and logic, stored on the computer-readable storage medium and executed on the processor, for; analyzing a first cloud node, associated with a first version of a service, to extract first configuration metadata; analyzing the first cloud node, associated with a second version, subsequent to the first version, of the service, to extract second configuration metadata; determining, based upon a comparison of the first configuration metadata and the second configuration metadata, that a first application package common to the first cloud node and the second cloud node has not been modified between the first version and the second version; generating a first cloud image of the first application package in response to the determining that the particular software package has not been modified; and caching the first cloud image for distribution in response to a request for deployment of the service. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
