Abstract
A software application designed to operate within an enterprise system is modified to operate properly within a system of a third-party provider. In one embodiment, a site manager obtains pertinent information about the software application from the source systems that make up the enterprise system and provides it to a cloud manager, and the cloud manager uses the information to generate a modified version of the software application for use on the cloud provider. The modification may include operations such as driver injection, file system mounting customization, customization of hostname-to-network address mappings, and boot image creation. Secure connections may also be established between the enterprise system and third-party provider to allow the application running on the third-party provider to access the services of the enterprise system.
