1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- separating state data from an existing software stack stored in one or more computer storage units in a computer system, the existing software stack comprising operating system software and application software, and the state data representing one or more states of the existing software stack;
storing an image in one or more computer storage units in the computer system, the stored image forming an updated software stack comprising operating system and application software; and
configuring the updated software stack using the state data.

Abstract
State data can be separated from an existing software stack stored in one or more computer storage units in a computer system. The existing software stack can include operating system software and application software, and the state data can represent one or more states of the existing software stack. An image can be stored in one or more computer storage units in the computer system, and the stored image can form an updated software stack including operating system and application software. In addition, the updated software stack can be configured using the state data.
