A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor, enables the computer processor to perform a method for deploying product applications within virtual machines from an on-premises infrastructure onto a public cloud infrastructure, the method comprising:
receiving, by the public cloud infrastructure and from the on-premises infrastructure, an on-premises product virtual machine image comprising a product application;
performing, by the public cloud infrastructure and using a virtual machine image import tool configured to facilitate virtual machine image importation, a first import attempt of the on-premises product virtual machine image into a cloud virtual machine image repository of the public cloud infrastructure;
obtaining, by the public cloud infrastructure and based on a failure result of the first import attempt provided by the virtual machine import tool, a cloud product virtual machine instance; and
triggering, by the public cloud infrastructure, a virtual machine snapshot of the cloud product virtual machine instance to produce a cloud product virtual machine image comprising the product application.
