1. A method comprising:
- transferring a foreign instance from a customer environment to a infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as an image, wherein said transfer is via a network providing connectivity between said customer environment and said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment, and wherein said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment comprises a cloud landing zone and a management system;
adjusting, in said cloud landing zone of said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment, a management suite of said foreign instance to standards of said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment to obtain an adjusted instance while running said foreign instance on a first hypervisor operating under control of a cloud management zone, wherein said foreign instance is not visible in said cloud landing zone to a customer;
registering said adjusted instance into said management system of said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment,wherein said cloud landing zone is physically separate from said management system within said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment, said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment comprising a first server system hosting said first hypervisor and a second server system hosing a second hypervisor operating under control of said management system, andwherein registering comprises;
migrating said adjusted instance from said cloud landing zone into said management system of said infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment; and
