    Abstract: One or more embodiments provide techniques for migrating a virtual machine (VM) from a private data center to a cloud data center. A hybridity manager receives a request at the cloud data center to replicate a VM from the private data center on the cloud data center. The hybridity manager identifies a source network associated with the VM. The hybridity manager identifies whether there exists a stretched network associated with the source network of the VM. Responsive to determining that there is a stretched network associated with the source network of the VM, the hybridity manager replicates the VM on the stretched network without reconfiguring internet-protocol (IP) settings of the VM.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for managing and diagnosing middleboxes in a cloud computing system. In one embodiment, a network operations center, that is located remote to a virtualized cloud computing system and communicates with the cloud computing system via a wide area network, controls network middleboxes in the cloud computing system through a secure routing module inside a gateway of the cloud computing system. The secure routing module is configured to receive, from an authenticated management application and via a secure communication channel, packets intended for managing network middleboxes. In turn, the secure routing module establishes secure communication channels with the target middleboxes, translates the identified packets to protocols and/or application programming interfaces (APIs) of the target middleboxes, and transmits the translated packets to the target middleboxes.
