Virtual machine server-side network adaptation

A method, comprising:

• for a first virtual machine, causing a network change from a first virtual network having a first customer Internet Protocol (IP) address to a second virtual network having a second customer IP address, including:
• creating the second virtual network;
• via at least one processor, associating at least one networking artifact with a first user that is associated with the first virtual machine, wherein the at least one networking artifact includes the second virtual network;
• and
• mapping the second customer IP address to a first physical IP address, wherein the first physical IP address is a physical IP address of the first virtual network.

A processor-readable storage medium, having stored thereon processor-executable code that, upon execution by at least one processor, enables actions, comprising:

• configuring, for a first virtual machine, a network change from a first virtual network having a first customer Internet Protocol (IP) address to a second virtual network having a second customer IP address, including:
• providing the second virtual network;
• creating an association between at least one networking artifact and a first user that is associated with the first virtual machine, wherein the at least one networking artifact includes the second virtual network;
• and
• remapping the second customer IP address to a first physical IP address via a directory service, wherein the first physical IP address is a physical IP address of the first virtual network.
