Cross-cloud Object Mapping for Hybrid Clouds
| Content Provider | The Lens |
|---|---|
| Abstract | A method for managing an application executing in a computing system is disclosed as including a private cloud operated by a first organization and a multi-tenant public cloud of which the first organization is one of the tenants. The method comprises instantiating a first virtual object in the private cloud and instantiating a second virtual object in the public cloud for executing the application cooperatively with the first virtual object. Mapping associated with the first virtual object is generated, wherein the mapping comprises a first identifier having a context of the private cloud and a second identifier having a context of the public cloud. The method further includes detecting migration of the first or second virtual object such that both of the first and second virtual objects are instantiated in a single one of the private and public clouds and updating the mapping to reflect the migration. |

| Claim | A method for managing an application executing in a computing system that includes a first cloud and a second cloud, wherein the first cloud is a private cloud operated by a first organization and the second cloud is a multi-tenant public cloud of which the first organization is one of a plurality of tenants, the method comprising: instantiating a first virtual object in the private cloud of the first organization for executing the application, wherein the first virtual object is assigned a first identifier unique within the private cloud; instantiating a second virtual object in the public cloud for executing the application cooperatively with the first virtual object, wherein the second virtual object is assigned a second identifier unique within the public cloud; generating a mapping associated with the first virtual object, wherein the mapping comprises the first identifier having a context of the private cloud and the second identifier having a context of the public cloud computing system; detecting migration of the first or second virtual object such that both of the first and second virtual objects are instantiated in a single one of the private and public clouds; and updating the mapping associated with the first virtual object to reflect the migration. The method of claim 1 wherein instantiating the first and second virtual objects defines different tiers of the application, which is a multi-tiered application. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first virtual object and the second virtual object are components of a third virtual object spanning the public cloud computing system and the private data center. The method of claim 3 , wherein the third virtual object comprises a packaged virtual machine application comprising a first plurality of virtual machines deployed in the private data center and a second plurality of virtual machines deployed in the public cloud computing system. The method of claim 3 , wherein the third virtual object comprises a virtual network stretching from the private data center to the public cloud computing system. |
