Abstract
A new snapshot of a storage volume is created by instructing computing nodes to suppress write requests. A snapshot of the application may be created and used to rollback or clone the application. Clones snapshots of storage volumes may be gradually populated with data from prior snapshots to reduce loading on a primary snapshot. Changes to application state may be written to a remove storage volume that may be mounted to a new instance or clone of the application to recreate its state. Jobs to create and execute a bundled application may be referenced with a simulated file system that generates reads to hosts only when the job log file is actually read. A job manager creates jobs according to the manifests and executes phases of these jobs with respect to target nodes of the distributed computing system.
