Parallel distribution of application services to virtual nodes

A computing architecture with one or more physical host computing systems to deploy application services across virtual nodes on the one or more physical host computing systems, the computing architecture comprising:

• a management node configured to initiate configuration processes on the virtual nodes to configure at least a first service on a first set of the virtual nodes and a second service on the second set of the virtual nodes, wherein the first service is dependent on availability of the second service, wherein the first set of the virtual nodes and the second set of the virtual nodes each comprise two or more of the virtual nodes;
• the first set of the virtual nodes configured to hold a first configuration process for the first service to prevent execution of the first service until an availability notification is identified for the second service;
• the second set of the virtual nodes configured to identify when the second service is running on the second set of the virtual nodes and, in response to the second service running on the second set of the virtual nodes, communicate the availability notification to at least one virtual agent for the first set of the virtual nodes from a second virtual agent for the second set of the virtual nodes, wherein communication of the availability notification is performed without requiring a second configuration process for the second service to have knowledge regarding a particular set of virtual nodes of the one or more physical host computing systems on which the first service is deployed by performing an intermediate address translation from a first addressing format used by the second configuration process to a second addressing format;
• and
• the first set of the virtual nodes configured to identify the availability notification at the at least one virtual agent and, in response to identifying the availability notification, execute the first configuration process for the first service to run the first service on the first set of the virtual nodes.
