Abstract
The present embodiments relate generally to workload management and more particularly to a hybrid cloud workload management system and methodology which can effectively manage the execution of tasks of the same workload on both private and public clouds. In embodiments, user tasks are seamlessly and transparently executed on a public cloud if the private cloud does not have the necessary resources available. These and other embodiments automatically detect data dependencies of user tasks and build lists of data attributes of user tasks, which are used to populate and synchronize data needed for tasks before they are executed on the public cloud. Additional or alternative embodiments include the ability to intelligently scale the compute resources in the public cloud so that appropriate number of hosts with the resources needed by the user tasks are dynamically created and also properly purged upon user task completion.
