Data storage of workloads is migrated from a local computing environment to a cloud computing environment. The workloads are first executed in a runtime environment that have been deployed within a first virtual machine running in the local computing environment, according to a blueprint that defines a data storage path for the workloads. The data storage of the workloads is migrated by copying contents of a first file, which corresponds to a virtual disk of the first virtual machine, to a second file, modifying the blueprint to change the data storage path to a path that specifies a file path to the second file, and deploying a runtime environment within a second virtual machine running in the cloud computing environment, according to the modified blueprint. After transitioning the data storage of the workloads in this manner, the workloads are executed in the runtime environment deployed within the second virtual machine.
