Abstract:
At least one target virtual disk descriptor that describes at least one virtual disk associated with an existing target virtual machine in a target virtualized environment is merged with at least one source virtual disk descriptor that describes at least one virtual disk associated with a source. The merging is carried out to obtain at least one merged virtual disk descriptor compatible with the target virtualized environment. The at least one virtual disk associated with the existing target virtual machine in the target virtualized environment is replaced with the at least one virtual disk associated with the source, in accordance with the at least one merged virtual disk descriptor.
Abstract:
An arbitrary customer instance is transferred from a customer environment to a target managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as a transferred image. An image adjustment plan, capturing at least one adjustment required to render the transferred image compliant with standards of the target managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment, is formulated. The image adjustment plan is executed to adjust the transferred image to obtain an adjusted image compliant with standards of the target managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment. The adjusted image is on-boarded into the managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as a standard image thereof.

Abstract:
A conformance checker is received on a system that contains hostable content, and is executed. One or more results provided by the conformance checker are evaluated; and the hostable content is migrated to a destination host in accordance with the evaluating step.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for attaching a pluggable agent to a virtual machine (VM) in a networked computing environment. In an embodiment, a VM is provisioned with a base operating system. This base operating system is a base operating system that has a file system that is adapted to run any of a plurality of agents. In response to a request for the VM to perform a service, an agent file template of an agent that is configured to perform the service on the VM is obtained. This agent is installed on the VM by modifying the file system of the provisioned base operating system to include a set of files in the agent file template.
