Abstract
In general, the invention is directed to software image management within a distributed computing system. The distributed computing system includes a plurality of application nodes interconnected via a communications network, and an image repository storing a plurality of pre-generated software image instances. A control node may pre-assign a network address to each of the image instances stored within the image repository, and assigns the network addresses of the image instances to the application nodes upon subsequent deployment of the software images to the application nodes.
