Abstract: A system for migrating services including a primary virtual environment (VE) with a service manager and a VE manager, and a secondary VE, where both VEs execute a plurality of services, a set of physical hardware, and a hypervisor including a service module for storing extended service attributes for each service. The hypervisor manages migration one of the plurality of services executing on a source VE, obtain hardware requirements of the source VE, obtain extended service attributes associated with the one of the plurality of services to be migrated, and select a target VE for migration of the service. The target VE is selected based on the source VE data and the extended service attributes of the one service. The hypervisor migrates the one service by configuring the target VE and installing the service on the target VE using install scripts that execute on the target VE.
