Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for workload management and distribution. A method includes parking a virtual instance of a workload in a repository. The workload may be executing in a first virtual environment that is configured with a first set of execution parameters prior to being parked. The method includes receiving a request to unpark the virtual instance of the workload from the repository to a second virtual environment. The method includes unparking the virtual instance of the workload at the second virtual environment. The second virtual environment may be configured with a second set of execution parameters that are different than the first set of execution parameters. The virtual instance of the workload may be unparked at the second virtual environment using the second set of execution parameters such that the unparked virtual instance of the workload retains its operating state from the first virtual environment.
