Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a work load management module, a request to migrate a datacenter application hosted by a first datacenter pod to a second datacenter pod, each datacenter pod comprising a self-contained unit of standardized processing, storage, and network resources for hosting data center applications, the request comprising a first pod identifier, a second pod identifier, and authorization information; verifying that the request to migrate the datacenter application is allowed using the authorization information in the received request; retrieving, from a database of pod environment configurations, a first pod environment configuration using the first pod identifier and a second pod environment configuration using the second pod identifier, each pod environment configuration comprising information describing the processing, storage, and network resources provided by its corresponding datacenter pod; automatically determining, by the work load management module, one or more differences between the first pod environment configuration and the second pod environment configuration; modifying the datacenter application based on the one or more differences such that the modified datacenter application is operable in the second datacenter pod; and migrating the modified datacenter application to the second datacenter pod such that the second datacenter pod hosts the modified datacenter application.
