    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to moving workloads between cloud providers. A traceability application can receive a request to register a workload from a first virtualization service associated with a first cloud computing environment. To register the workload, the traceability application can generate an identification token in a distributed data store and an asset record corresponding to the identification token. The identification token can uniquely identify the workload among a plurality of workloads associated with a plurality of cloud computing environments. The traceability application can detect a migration of the VM from the first virtualization service associated with the first cloud computing environment to a second virtualization service associated with the second cloud computing environment. The traceability application can cause a transfer of an ownership of the identification token from the first virtualization service to the second virtualization service. The traceability application can update the asset record to reflect the transfer of the ownership of the identification token from the first virtualization service to the second virtualization service.
