Abstract
An apparatus in one embodiment comprises cloud infrastructure having at least a first cloud. The apparatus further comprises a storage system separate from the first cloud and providing persistent storage for an application and associated data. The first cloud comprises a virtual machine image having installed therein an application launcher for the application of the storage system. Responsive to a request to execute the application, the first cloud configures a virtual machine instance based on the virtual machine image to execute the application launcher. In conjunction with the execution of the application launcher, the application is loaded from the storage system into the virtual machine instance for execution. In conjunction with the execution of the application, a data proxy associated with the application communicates with the storage system to transfer portions of the data required for execution of the application into non-persistent storage of the virtual machine instance.
