Application image cloning system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a local memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a mapping engine that is configured to:
• receive, from a first application, a first store request to store a modified first memory page that is a modified version of a first memory page included in a plurality of memory pages included in a first application image stored in a memory fabric memory system, wherein the first memory page is stored in a first memory fabric memory location that is included in the memory fabric memory system and that is associated with the first application and a second application in a memory fabric management database;
• store the modified first memory page in a first local memory location in the local memory system;
• modify, in the memory fabric management database, notational reference information in order to disassociate the first application from the first memory fabric memory location that stores the first memory page;
• and
• associate the first application with the first local memory location that stores the modified first memory page, wherein the second application remains associated with the first memory fabric memory location that stores the first memory page.

A method of cloning application images, comprising:

• receiving, by a mapping engine from a first application, a first store request to store a modified first memory page that is a modified version of a first memory page included in a plurality of memory pages included in an first application image stored in a memory fabric memory system, wherein the first memory page is stored in a first memory fabric memory location that is included in the memory fabric memory system and that is associated with the first application and a second application in a memory fabric management database;
• storing, by the mapping engine, the modified first memory page in a first local memory location in a local memory system;
• modifying, by the mapping engine in the memory fabric management database, notational reference information in order to disassociate the first application from the first memory fabric memory location that stores the first memory page;
• and
• associating, by the mapping engine, the first application with the first local memory location that stores the modified first memory page, wherein the second application remains associated with the first memory fabric memory location that stores the first memory page.
