Dear OpenNebula Community<br>
<br>
I understand that there is no live migration functionality to public cloud vendors available.<br>
But what’s about manual migration or portability of virtual machines? Is there a way to migrate virtual machines to or from opennebula?<br>
We are interested to migrate images from ec2, softlayer, azure and Rackspace.<br>
<br>
