1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving an order from a customer account to install and manage a first data center on customer premises, wherein the first data center comprises a first instance of a virtualized overlay network that virtualizes physical network resources and a first instance of a group of virtualized volume identifiers that virtualize physical storage volumes;
in response to receiving the order, and in response to determining that installing the first data center is threshold likely to take at least a defined amount of time to install, instantiating a second data center for the customer account at a colocation site, wherein the second data center comprises a second instance of the virtualized overlay network a second instance of the group of virtualized volume identifiers;
operating customer workloads using the second data center, wherein the customer workloads invoke the second instance of the virtualized overlay network and the second instance of the group of virtualized volume identifiers; and
after instantiating the second data center, and in response to determining that the first data center is operational, switching the operating of the customer workloads from the second data center to the first data center, wherein the customer workloads invoke the first instance of the virtualized overlay network and the first instance of the group of virtualized volume identifiers.
