Abstract: Examples of techniques for jointly managing a cloud and non-cloud environment are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method includes: receiving a request to be executed on one of a cloud resource and a non-cloud resource using one of cloud orchestration and non-cloud orchestration, the request comprising a plurality of tasks; scheduling the first task for execution on the cloud resource by a cloud orchestration device using a joint cloud and non-cloud management device; scheduling the second task for execution on the non-cloud resource by a non-cloud orchestration device using a non-cloud management device; and scheduling the third task for execution on the non-cloud resource by the non-cloud orchestration device using the joint cloud and non-cloud management device.

Abstract: During a process of migrating a source system into a standardized virtual environment, virtual machine instances of the source system executing in a hypervisor are snapshotted as virtual machine images in an operational repository of the hypervisor. The virtual machine images in the operational repository are short-term snapshots. From time to time during the migration process, long-term snapshots of the source system are created by checking given ones of the virtual machine images from the hypervisor operational repository into an image library as image objects.

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 foreign instance is transferred from a customer environment to a target infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as an image. The foreign instance is adjusted to standards of the infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment to obtain an adjusted instance. The adjusted instance is registered into a management system of the infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment.

Abstract: An image version of a source instance is prepared and is transferred to a destination environment. Two or more copies of the transferred image version of the source instance are created at the destination environment. The first copy of the transferred image version of the source instance is adjusted while the source instance is in use. The second copy of the transferred image version of the source instance is resynchronized with one or more changes made to the source instance. The adjustments made to the first copy of the source instance are applied to the resynchronized second copy of the source instance.
