Abstract
In certain embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes accessing user selection data that includes selections associated with computing system resources, determining two or more machine image layers from available machine image layers to instantiate on a particular computing system resource, and determining that a particular machine image layer is not cached locally on one or more memory devices of the particular computing system resource. The method includes, in response to determining that the particular machine image layer is not cached locally on one or more memory devices, accessing a stored copy of the particular machine image layer residing in memory external to the particular computing system resource and caching the stored copy of the particular machine image layer on the one or more memory devices of the particular computing system resource. The method further includes instantiating the particular machine image layer on the particular computing system resource.
