Abstract
Methods that can boot a target computing device and/or target computing system from a checkpoint image for the target computing device and/or target computing system generated at a source computing system are disclosed herein. One method includes generating, by a processor on a source computing system, a checkpoint image for a target computing device and distributing the checkpoint image from the source computing system to the target computing device. Here, the checkpoint image is stored in the host computing system and is configured to enable the target computing device to restore itself from the checkpoint image and the source computing system and the target computing device are separate computing entities. Apparatus, systems, and computer program products that can include, perform, and/or implement the methods are also disclosed herein.
