摘要： A method may include identifying a first version of a virtualized application. The first version of the virtualized application may include a first read-only virtualization sublayer, and the first read-only virtualization sublayer may provide a base state of the first version of the virtualized application. The method may also include identifying a second version of the virtualized application. The second version of the virtualized application may include a second read-only virtualization sublayer, which may provide a base state of the second version of the virtualized application. The method may further include determining a difference between the first read-only virtualization sublayer and the second read-only virtualization sublayer and using the difference to create a patch configured to update an instance of the first version of the virtualized application to an instance of the second version of the virtualized application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

摘要： Systems and methods for delivery of user profile data are disclosed. An exemplary method includes detecting a request for a full copy of a user profile data package maintained by a user profile data source subsystem, creating an illusion that the request has been fulfilled, and copying on demand a portion of the user profile data package from the source subsystem to a target location for access by a data consuming subsystem. In certain embodiments, the method further includes utilizing the copied portion of the user profile data package for execution of a computing operation, without fully copying the user profile data package from the source subsystem. In certain embodiments, the portion of the user profile data package is streamed from the source subsystem to the target location over a network connection.

摘要： The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for patching computer programs. In one example, a patch is virtually installed to a computing device having a base file system and configuration, a computer program, and a patch layering subsystem. The virtual installation may include storing content of the patch to a patch layer, and generating and storing mapping data defining at least one relationship between the content in the patch layer and content in the base file system and configuration. The virtually installed patch may be enabled, including applying the mapping data to the patch layering subsystem such that the patch layering subsystem is configured for selectively redirecting access requests from the base file system and configuration to the patch layer. In certain embodiments, the enabled patch may be disabled by reversing the application of the mapping data to the patch layering subsystem.
