Dynamic credential based addressing

A method of mapping a virtual address space for an application on a computing system, the method comprising:

• in response to initiating the application, identifying access information for at least one configuration resource;
• transferring a request to the at least one configuration resource for a virtual addressing configuration;
• receiving the virtual addressing configuration from the at least one configuration resource;
• and
• based on the virtual addressing configuration, generating a mapping of virtual addresses for the application on the computing system to local addresses that address local resources of the computing system and network addresses that address network resources external to the computing system over at least a network.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media to map a virtual address space for an application on a computing system that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
• in response to initiating the application, identify access information for at least one configuration resource;
• transfer a request to the at least one configuration resource for a virtual addressing configuration;
• receive the virtual addressing configuration from the at least one configuration resource;
• and
• based on the virtual addressing configuration, generate a mapping of virtual addresses for the application on the computing system to local addresses that address local resources of the computing system and network addresses that address network resources external to the computing system over at least a network.
