Customized browser images

摘要

A process is directed to the generation and processing of browser virtual machines. A network computing provider determines browser settings and other optimizations for improved performance when a browser is processing a specific type of Web page or other network resource. The network computing provider customizes a browser with the settings and optimizations, and generates a virtual machine image of the customized browser. The image is deployed to any number of servers processing network resource requests from client computing devices. In response to receiving a request for a Web page or other network resource with a corresponding customized browser, the network computing provider routes the request to a server with an image or active instance of the customized browser.

1. A system comprising one or more physical network computing devices, wherein each physical network computing device comprises hardware configurable to execute specific computing instructions, the system configured to:
create a customized instance of a server-hosted browsing application accessible from a separate client-hosted browsing application, wherein the customized instance of the server-hosted browsing application comprises at least a portion of a network-based content item processed and loaded into a memory space of the customized instance of the server-hosted browsing application, and wherein the network-based content item is retrieved from a content source separate from the one or more physical network computing devices; generate a virtual machine image of the customized instance of the server-hosted browsing application, the virtual machine image comprising a representation of the memory space of the customized instance of the server-hosted browsing application; distribute, to one or more servers, the virtual machine image of the customized instance of the server-hosted browsing application; and direct, to a server configured with the virtual machine image of the customized instance of the server-hosted browsing application, one or more requests received from one or more separate client-hosted browsing applications for the network-based content item.
