1. A computer-implemented method for progressively provisioning a set of nodes in a computing system in which processing is distributed across the set of nodes, the method comprising:

  • configuring the computing system by identifying, to each of the nodes in the set, which nodes are in the set, and specifying, to each of the nodes in the set, that the nodes in the set operate as peers in the computing system;

    performing, on a first subset of the nodes, an operation associated with a software application, wherein the first subset is less than the entire set of nodes; and

    without reconfiguring the computing system, performing, on a second subset of the set of nodes, the operation associated with the software application, wherein the second subset is less than the entire set of nodes and is a different subset of nodes than the first subset of nodes.
