1. A method for managing a hybrid cloud computing system, the method comprising:

  • at a hybrid cloud manager of a private data center of the hybrid cloud computing system, receiving a request to migrate a virtual machine from the private data center managed by a first organization to a public cloud computing system of the hybrid cloud computing system, wherein the first organization is a tenant in the public cloud computing system managed by a second organization;

    at the hybrid cloud manager of the private data center, determining configurations of physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine, wherein the configurations of the physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine comprise;

    network services settings that include firewall rules;

    storage settings that include input/output operations per second or a particular storage type; and

    physical network interface settings that include a link of a particular transmission rate;

    using the hybrid cloud manager of the private data center, presenting a user interface, which lists the configurations of the physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine and provides options to select a match preference for each of the configurations, to a user;

    at the hybrid cloud manager of the private data center, receiving user input from the user indicating the match preference for each of the configurations of the physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine; and

    from the hybrid cloud manager of the private data center, transmitting, to the public cloud computing system, a migration package associated with the virtual machine and specifying the determined configurations and corresponding match preferences and state data of the virtual machine representing an execution state of the virtual machine.
