1. A cloud-connector subsystem that provides a stretch-redeploy operation for moving one or more virtual machines and virtual applications between cloud-computing facilities, the cloud-connector subsystem comprising:

  • cloud-connector nodes associated with each of a source, target, and new target cloud computing facility; and

    a cloud-connector server that includes one or more processors, one or more memories, one or more data-storage devices, and computer instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, control the cloud-connector server to provide, in cooperation with the cloud-connector nodes, a stretch-redeploy operation thatextends a first local virtual network within the source cloud-computing facility to the new target cloud-computing facility, forming a second extended local virtual network; and

    moves one or more virtual machines and virtual applications from executing on the target cloud-computing facility and communicating with other computational entities through the first local virtual network and a first extended local virtual network that extends the first local virtual network to the target cloud-computing facility using one or more network addresses to executing on the new target cloud-computing facility and communicating with other computational entities through the second extended local virtual network using the same one or more network addresses.
