CROSS-CLOUD POLICY MANAGEMENT FOR HYBRID CLOUD DEPLOYMENTS
First Claim
1. A method for managing a hybrid cloud computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to migrate a virtual machine from a private data center managed by a first organization to a public cloud computing system, wherein the first organization is a tenant in the public cloud computing system managed by a second organization;
determining configurations of physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine;
determining a match preference associated with each of the configurations, wherein the match preferences indicate a level of criticality for some corresponding configuration at the public cloud system; and
transmitting, to the public cloud computing system, a migration package associated with the virtual machine and specifying the determined configurations and corresponding match preferences.

Abstract
A method is provide for managing a migration of a virtual machine from a private data center managed by a first organization to a public cloud computing system by a second organization and where the first organization is a tenant. The configurations of physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine are determined, along with a corresponding match preference indicating a level of criticality for some corresponding configuration at the public cloud system. The configurations and match preferences generated as part of a migration package. The public cloud computing system instantiates a corresponding VM based on the determined configurations and corresponding match preferences.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed in a computing device, manage a hybrid cloud computing system, by performing the steps of:
-
receiving a request to migrate a virtual machine from a private data center managed by a first organization to a public cloud computing system, wherein the first organization is a tenant in the public cloud computing system managed by a second organization; determining configurations of physical infrastructure of the private data center that underlies the virtual machine; determining a match preference associated with each of the configurations, wherein the match preferences indicate a level of criticality for some corresponding configuration at the public cloud system; and transmitting, to the public cloud computing system, a migration package associated with the virtual machine and specifying the determined configurations and corresponding match preferences. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for managing a hybrid cloud computing system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a public cloud computing system, a migration package associated with a first virtual machine at a private data center managed by a first organization, wherein the first organization is a tenant in the public cloud computing system managed by a second organization; retrieving a plurality of configurations and corresponding match preferences from the migration package, wherein the match preferences indicate a level of criticality for some corresponding configuration at the public cloud system; and responsive to determining availability for the plurality of configurations at the public cloud computing system based on the corresponding, match preferences, instantiating a second virtual machine based on the migration package. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
