Abstract
One or more embodiments provide techniques for migrating virtual machines (VMs) from a private data center to a cloud data center. A hybrid cloud manager determines a scope of migration from the private data center to the cloud data center. The hybrid cloud manager groups each VM included in the scope of migration into one or more clusters. The hybrid cloud manager defines one or more migration phases. Each migration phase comprises a subset of the one or more clusters. The hybrid cloud manager generates a migration schedule based on at least the one or more migration phases. The hybrid cloud manager migrates the VMs from the private data center to the cloud data center in accordance with the migration schedule.
