Dynamically recommending changes to an association between an operating system image and an update group
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of dynamically recommending changes to an association between an operating system image and an update group, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the image deployment monitor, a modification in a configuration of a deployed copy of a first master operating system (OS) image, the deployed copy associated with a first update group of the first master OS image;
determining, by the image deployment monitor, that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches a configuration of a second master OS image than a configuration of the first master OS image;
in response to determining that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches the configuration of the second master OS image,associating, by the image deployment monitor, the deployed copy with the second update group of the second master OS image instead of the first update group of the first master OS image.

Abstract
Dynamically recommending changes to an association between an operating system image and an update group includes monitoring a configuration of a deployed copy of a first master operating system (OS) image; detecting a modification in the configuration of the deployed copy; determining that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches a configuration of a second master OS image than a configuration of the first master OS image; in response to determining that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches the configuration of the second master OS image, generating an association recommendation that recommends associating the deployed copy with a second update group of the second master OS image; and associating the deployed copy with the second update group of the second master OS image instead of the first update group of the first master OS image.

7. An apparatus for dynamically recommending changes to an association between an operating system image and an update group, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that when executed by the computer processor cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
-
detecting, by the image deployment monitor, a modification in a configuration of a deployed copy of a first master operating system (OS) image, the deployed copy associated with a first update group of the first master OS image; determining, by the image deployment monitor, that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches a configuration of a second master OS image than a configuration of the first master OS image; in response to determining that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches the configuration of the second master OS image, associating, by the image deployment monitor, the deployed copy with the second update group of the second master OS image instead of the first update group of the first master OS image. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product for dynamically recommending changes to an association between an operating system image and an update group, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable memory, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that when executed by a computer processor cause a computer to carry out the steps of:
-
detecting, by the image deployment monitor, a modification in a configuration of a deployed copy of a first master operating system (OS) image, the deployed copy associated with a first update group of the first master OS image; determining, by the image deployment monitor, that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches a configuration of a second master OS image than a configuration of the first master OS image; in response to determining that the configuration of the deployed copy with the modification more closely matches the configuration of the second master OS image, associating, by the image deployment monitor, the deployed copy with the second update group of the second master OS image instead of the first update group of the first master OS image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
