Abstract
Disclosed are different implementations for rapid configuration propagation across multiple servers of a distributed platform. One implementation is a push based distribution of update segments that are generated from a onetime differential analysis of an updated particular configuration relative to a previous instance of the particular configuration. Sequence numbers attached to the updated segments identify is a server's copy of a configuration is up-to-date and can receive a new updated segment or if missing intervening segments are to be retrieved from peers and applied prior to applying the new updated segment. Another implementation is a pull based distribution of compressed images of the configurations. A complete set of configurations are distributed as a compressed file system that is loaded into server memory. Individual configurations are read out of the file system and loaded into memory when implicated by client requests.
