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.
