Abstract
Techniques are described for standardizing software configuration levels across targets. In one embodiment, a subscription is maintained that identifies a group of targets that subscribe to a particular image, where the particular image represents a standard to follow for targets that belong to the group of targets. The particular image may further include a first image version having a first set of source components. In response to receiving an update to the particular image, a second image version is generated for the particular image, where the second image version includes a second set of source components that are different than the first set of source components. Two or more targets in the group of targets that subscribe to the particular image may be updated based on the second image version.
