1. A method of preparing large scale processing framework (LSPF) service images for large data processing environments, the method comprising: in a processing system, identifying a first LSPF service image for a LSPF service; identifying metadata that defines runtime requirements for deploying the LSPF service in data processing environments, wherein the runtime requirements for deploying the LSPF service comprise dependent characteristics of at least one cooperating LSPF service to be executed as one or more virtual nodes in a processing environment with the LSPF service, and wherein the dependent characteristics comprise addressing information for the at least one cooperating LSPF service; generating scripts for deploying the LSPF service based on the metadata, wherein the scripts comprise operations to configure the LSPF service to communicate with the cooperating LSPF service; generating a second LSPF service image for the LSPF service, wherein the second LSPF service image includes the scripts; and deploying the second LSPF service as one or more virtual nodes via the second LSPF service image with the at least one cooperating LSPF service in the processing environment.
