Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide approaches for allowing management of a virtual machine (VM) by multiple cloud providers in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a system identifies a set of provisioned resources of a VM managed by a first cloud provider, generates a set of artifacts containing information for a second cloud provider to allow co-management of the VM by the first cloud provider and the second cloud provider, and provides access to the set of provisioned resources of the VM to the second cloud provider. As such, a single virtual machine may be managed by multiple (e.g., geographically distinct) cloud providers to cooperatively and selectively execute VM operations because the end product (i.e., VM) from the first and second cloud providers is the same.
