Abstract

One or more embodiments provide techniques for migrating a virtual machine (VM) from a private data center to a cloud data center. A hybridity manager receives a request at the cloud data center to replicate a VM from the private data center on the cloud data center. The hybridity manager identifies a source network associated with the VM. The hybridity manager identifies whether there exists a stretched network associated with the source network of the VM. Responsive to determining that there is a stretched network associated with the source network of the VM, the hybridity manager replicates the VM on the stretched network without reconfiguring internet-protocol (IP) settings of the VM.
