We asked the BlueLock people if we could have four separate vClouds, each with instances supporting a standard provisioning of two vCPUs, some disk, some memory.

We right-clicked VMs, and sent them on their merry way to the target destination. The instances moved between BlueLock's facility and our NOC VMware cloud with nary a problem, as though they were there in the lab.

There are networking, DNS/instance-naming and other options provided through vDirector, which BlueLock uses as its admin console app. This is cloud like it should be: right-click, select, target, and go.

We then logged onto I-Land Internet Services, another vCloud provider and bought some more vCloud. We provisioned it identically. We logged on with the VCC plug-in. We started moving VMs around the clouds, once again as though they were inside the lab or at our hosting managed service provider, nFrame.

Sometimes in simplicity, there is bliss.
