Abstract
Techniques are provided for virtual machine hosting and serverless disaster recovery. A virtual machine is hosted by a first hypervisor that may be located on-premise. Snapshots of virtual machine disks of the virtual machine are backed up to a cloud storage environment. The snapshots are used to on-demand host a new instance of the virtual machine within a destination environment such as within the cloud storage environment through a second hypervisor. The new instance of the virtual machine is hosted for various reasons such as part of a disaster recovery operation if the virtual machine fails, load balancing of I/O operations, migration to a different hosting environment (e.g., a cheaper or more performant environment), development testing, etc.
