The Cloudifier project deals with the design and development of an ecosystem of tools for the assisted migration to a cloud or multi-cloud environment of scientific and business oriented distributed applications. Recent surveys show that many of the organizations that are not yet running their applications in the cloud are experimenting with infrastructure-as-a-service mode. The Cloudifier tools will provide capabilities to evaluate the characteristics of a legacy distributed application by profiling its behavior, to collect information about performance, cost and security on commercial cloud service providers, as well as to assess the quality of the interconnections between providers. On the basis of this data, and interacting with the customers that expose their requirements in an informal way, a “smart” brokering system will find an optimal service composition and evaluate its execution cost, by taking into account the cost plans of the providers, and possibly exploiting multi-cloud configurations.

Abstract
The Cloudifier project deals with the design and development of an ecosystem of tools for the assisted migration to a cloud or multi-cloud environment of scientific and business oriented distributed applications. Recent surveys show that many of the organizations that are not yet running their applications in the cloud are experimenting with infrastructure-as-a-service mode. The Cloudifier tools will provide capabilities to evaluate the characteristics of a legacy distributed application by profiling its behavior, to collect information about performance, cost and security on commercial cloud service providers, as well as to assess the quality of the interconnections between providers. On the basis of this data, and interacting with the customers that expose their requirements in an informal way, a “smart” brokering system will find an optimal service composition and evaluate its execution cost, by taking into account the cost plans of the providers, and possibly exploiting multi-cloud configurations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
