Live rollback for a computing environment

A method for the creation of a rollback stream, the method being performed by a computing device, the method comprising:

• storing one or more streams in memory for a computing device, the one or more streams comprising data to allow for execution of a running process by a computing environment;
• monitoring the computing device for an occurrence of an event comprising one of a timer expiration, a memory exception or an input/output operation;
• responsive to detecting the occurrence of the event:
• gather snapshot data and generate a timestamp based on the event;
• marking at least a portion of the memory as one of copy-on-write, read-only or write based on which event is detected;
• and
• responsive to the event, write the snapshot data associated with the event and the timestamp to the one or more streams.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a computing device to cause the device to perform a method for the creation of a rollback stream, the method comprising:

• storing one or more streams in memory for a computing device, the one or more comprising data to allow for execution of a running process by a computing environment
• monitoring the computing device for an occurrence of an event comprising one of a timer expiration, a memory exception or an input/output operation;
• responsive to detecting the occurrence of the event:
• gather snapshot data and generate a timestamp based on the event;
• marking at least a portion of the memory as one of copy-on-write, read-only or write based on which event is detected;
• and
• responsive to the event, write the snapshot data associated with the event and the timestamp to the one or more streams.
