Abstract
A customer network client detects, through a user interface, selection of a graphical representation of a set of virtual machine images and an indication to migrate this set of virtual machine images to an off-premises network managed by a computing resource service provider. In response, the client generates a set of application programming interface calls, which may be transmitted to the service provider and causes the service provider to convert the selected images for use within the off-premises network. The client monitors fulfillment of the calls and, upon determining that the calls has been fulfilled, updates a portion of the user interface associated with the computing resource service provider to indicate that the images may be instantiated within the off-premises network.
