Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Example embodiments disclosed herein can provide for receiving a compute request for migrating an application from a source environment to a target cloud, determining a configured option of a first resource associated with the application, and determining at least one solution in the target cloud for the application. The solution is based, at least in part, on the configured option. In more specific embodiments, when the configured option indicates the first resource is splittable, a number of second instances of a solution in the target cloud is greater than a number of first instances in the source environment. In further more specific embodiments, when the configured option indicates the first resource is mergeable, a number of second instances of a solution in the target cloud is less than the number of first instances in the source environment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory element comprising instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the apparatus to: receive a compute request for migrating an application from a source environment to a target cloud, the compute request including a configured option of a first resource associated with the application running in the source environment, the first resource defined by a first par…
