Deploying an application in a hybrid cloud computing environment

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes a set of instructions which, in response to execution by a processor of a computing system in a private cloud computing environment, causes the processor to perform a method to deploy an application in a hybrid cloud computing environment, the method comprising:

• generating a request to deploy an application in a public cloud environment, wherein the request includes a deployment plan specifying one or more tasks to be executed by a virtual computing resource from a cloud provider to deploy the application, wherein the deployment plan is to deploy a multi-tier application;
• sending, to an orchestration node in the public cloud computing environment, the request to instruct the orchestration node to provision the virtual computing resource from the cloud provider and to cause the virtual computing resource to execute the one or more tasks and to coordinate execution of tasks by multiple virtual computing resources to deploy multiple application components of the multi-tier application according to an order specified by the deployment plan;
• receiving in the private cloud computing environment, from the orchestration node in the public cloud environment, status data relating to execution of the one or more tasks by the virtual computing resource;
• and
• based on the received status data, determining whether the application is successfully deployed in the public cloud computing environment.
