Updating address mapping for local and network resources

A method of updating a virtual address mapping for an application on a computing system from a first mapping to a second mapping, the method comprising:

• identifying a request to update the virtual address mapping from a first mapping to a second mapping, wherein the first mapping maps virtual addresses for the application to first local addresses that address local resources of the computing system;
• identifying at least one configuration resource to update the virtual address mapping;
• transferring a request to the at least one configuration resource to update the virtual address mapping;
• receiving a configuration for the virtual address mapping for the application;
• and
• based on the configuration, generating the second mapping, wherein the second mapping maps the virtual addresses for the application on the computing system to second local addresses that address the 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 update a mapping of a virtual address space for an application on a computing system that, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
• identify a request to update a virtual address mapping from a first mapping to a second mapping, wherein the first mapping maps virtual addresses for the application on the computing system to first local addresses that address local resources of the computing system;
• identify at least one configuration resource to update the virtual address mapping;
• transfer a request to the at least one configuration resource to update the virtual address mapping;
• receive a configuration for the virtual address mapping for the application;
• and
• based on the configuration, generate the second mapping, wherein the second mapping maps the virtual addresses for the application on the computing system to second local addresses that address the local resources of the computing system and network addresses that address network resources external to the computing system over at least a network.
