A Survey of Cloud Migration Methods: A Comparison and Proposition

Abstract

Along with the significant advantages of cloud computing paradigm, the number of enterprises, which expect to move a legacy system towards a cloud, is steadily increasing. Unfortunately, this move is not straightforward. There are many challenges to take up. The applications are often written with the outdated technologies. While some enterprises redevelop applications with a specific Cloud provider in mind, others try to move the legacy systems, either because the organization wants to keep the past investments, or because the legacy systems hold important data. Migrating the legacy systems to the Cloud introduces technical and business challenges. This paper aims to study deeply and to compare existing Cloud migration methods, based on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Finally, we have proposed a Cloud legacy system Migration Method relied on Architecture Driven Modernization (ADM), and explained its working process.
