A method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a workload in a hybrid cloud. It is determined whether first data processing resources processing a portion of a workload are overloaded. Responsive to a determination that the first data processing resources are overloaded, second data processing resources are automatically provisioned and the portion of the workload is automatically moved to the second data processing resources for processing. The second data processing resources are data processing resources that are provided as a service on the hybrid cloud. Processing of a first portion of a workload being processed on first data processing resources of a hybrid cloud are monitored simultaneously with monitoring processing of a second portion of the workload being processed on second data processing resources of the hybrid cloud. The workload may be allocated automatically between the first portion and the second portion responsive to the simultaneous monitoring.
