Decision Support for Application Migration to the Cloud

چکیده
The Cloud Computing paradigm promises a major shift in providing computing resources and enterprises are encouraged to consider migrating existing applications to this new environment. In this regard various approaches of decision support for application migration to the Cloud exist to aid decision makers with this challenging multi-dimensional issue. This Master’s thesis considers the elaboration of a recent vision of a decision support system for application migration to the Cloud taking into account decisions to be made, and tasks that support decision-making. Based on a literature investigation this work constitutes a refined version of this approach by identifying several specific decisions and their relationships to other decisions and tasks. By means of a survey these extensions have been evaluated by peers in research and professional practice. Finally, a prototype based on current web technologies has been implemented to actually make the decision support approach available to decision makers considering application migration to the Cloud.

Analytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration
In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...

متن کاملA Near Optimal Approach in Choosing The Appropriate Physical Machines for Live Virtual Machines Migration in Cloud Computing
Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...
