Abstract
A new snapshot of a storage volume is created by instructing computing nodes to suppress write requests. An orchestration layer implements a multi-role application that is provisioned with virtualized storage and computation resources. 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. A multi-role application may be orchestrated using multiple orchestration approaches and objects of the multi-role application may be discovered and added to an application definition. The application definition may be used to create snapshots of the application and the snapshot may be used to rollback, clone, backup, or migrate the application.
