COPY-ON-WRITE UPDATE-TRIGGERED CONSISTENCY

According to an example, copy-on-write (COW) update-triggered consistency may include determining a first shared version related to a shared set of data related to a process involving a first application and a process involving a second application. First and second local versions may be respectively assigned to the shared set of data associated with the first and second applications. Initiation of a commit process by the first or second applications may be determined respectively based on a write to the first or second local versions respectively related to the shared set of data associated with the first or second applications. In response to initiation of the commit process, a second shared version may be generated related to the shared set of data based on the respective processes involving the first and the second applications.
