A system and method include tracking virtual entities in a hybrid cloud system. The method includes receiving, at a management processor of a virtual hybrid computing system, a migration request to move a virtual entity from a first cloud sub-system to a second cloud sub-system; adding, by the management processor, a source proxy object representing the virtual entity exiting the first cloud sub-system to a first database, wherein the source proxy object includes a destination identifier and an exit time; executing, by the management processor, a logical migration of the virtual entity from the first cloud sub-system to the second cloud subsystem; receiving, at the management processor, a management query including a query time corresponding to a time for which status information of the virtual entity is requested; determining, at the management processor, whether the query time is before the exit time of the source proxy object; and invoking, from the management processor, a first management software application program interface (API) for the first cloud sub-system when the query time is before the exit time of the source proxy object.
