Abstract
Methods and apparatus involve 'just-in-time' image creation services to address storage management issues faced by data centers. Representatively, a computing policy defines what images are required in software stacks according to intended workloads of computing devices during use and an order of assembly for each software stack is established. Upon a trigger event to instantiate an operating workload of any computing device, a workload image is configured for deployment to the hardware platform of the computing device, including assembling the stack in the order of assembly from stored virgin images of an operating system and any relevant applications. A delta of workload information is calculated when an operating workload for the computing device is to be brought down. Upon a trigger event to later re-instantiate the operating workload, another workload image is configured for deployment including combining the delta with the software stack, again, configured in the order of assembly.
