> cloud repatriation

You can repatriate VMWare VMs from someone else's datacenter to your datacenter. You might even be able to do it with little downtime. (I vaguely remember that VMWare has 0-downtime movement of a VM among physical hardware.)

There's nothing special about live migration, really. The major implementations (VMWare, Hyper-V, KVM/Qemu, Xen, ...) support it for a long time, including shared-nothing migration.
