A method manages software images in a blockchain-based environment of trusted devices. A trusted device creates a software image for sharing among members of a set of trusted devices that includes the trusted device. A blockchain mechanism stores the software image on a virtual machine that is in communication with the set of trusted devices, where the blockchain mechanism uses the set of trusted devices as peer members of the blockchain mechanism. A trusted device from the set of trusted devices receives, via the virtual machine, an access request for the software image from a requesting device from the set of trusted devices. The blockchain mechanism authorizes the access request by providing the software image to the requesting device.
A method comprising:
A computer program product for providing a software image to a requesting device from a set of trusted devices, wherein the computer program product comprises a non-transitory computer readable storage device having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and executable by a computer to perform a method comprising:
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, and one or more computer readable non-transitory storage mediums, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable non-transitory storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer readable memories, the stored program instructions executed to perform a method comprising:
