Abstract
A mechanism is provided for distributing a service implemented by a plurality of infra-connected source virtual machines on a source computing environment. Characteristic information of the service comprising an indication of the intra-connected source virtual machines and of each intra-connection between the intra-connected source virtual machines is discovered. The source virtual machines are copied into corresponding target virtual machines on a target computing environment. Reconfiguration information of at least one selected target virtual machine of the target virtual machines is saved that has a source identity of the corresponding source virtual machine in the source computing environment being reconfigured into a target identity of the at least one selected target virtual machine in the target computing environment. Each communication, addressed to each source identity by each target virtual machine intra-connected to a corresponding selected target virtual machine, is redirected to the corresponding target.
