CACHING AND ANALYZING IMAGES FOR FASTER AND SIMPLER CLOUD APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT
First Claim
1. A method, comprising;
- analyzing a first cloud node, associated with a first version of a service, to extract first configuration metadata;
analyzing a second 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 first application package for distribution in conjunction with the service in response to the determining that the particular software package has not been modified; and
caching the first cloud image for use in conjunction with the service.
