Methods and apparatus to perform data migration in a distributed environment

1. An apparatus comprising:

processor circuitry;

a source data generator to generate a migration package corresponding to a source cloud management automater, the source cloud management automater being a first management environment;

a target cloud management automater migrator to:

migrate data of the migration package into a target cloud management automater, the target cloud management automater being a second management environment;

merge a source database and a target database at the target cloud management automater, the target database storing data for the target cloud management automater, the merge including restoring the source database into the target database, the source database formed by the source data generator; and

perform a schema upgrade of the target database; and

a target service upgrader to upgrade service components at the target cloud management automater based on the migration package, at least one of the source data generator, the target cloud management automater migrator, or the target service upgrader being implemented via the processor circuitry.

2. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 , wherein the migration package includes at least one of source database data from the source cloud management automater, a password, encryption data, an email template, or source component data.

3. An apparatus as defined in claim 2 , wherein the target cloud management automater migrator is to re-encrypt at least one of the source database data, the password, or private data.

4. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 , wherein the target service upgrader is to perform a second database schema upgrade on a second database at a target Internet as a service (IaaS) component.

5. An apparatus as defined in claim 4 , wherein the target service upgrader is to re-encrypt the second database at the target IaaS component.

6. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 , wherein the service components include Windows-based components and Linux-based components.

7. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 , wherein the target service upgrader is to determine if a service component corresponding to the source cloud management automater is to be upgraded based on requirements of the target cloud management automater.

8. A method comprising:

generating a migration package corresponding to a source cloud management automater, the source cloud management automater being a first management environment;

migrating data of the migration package into a target cloud management automater, the target cloud management automater being a second management environment;

merging a source database and a target database at the target cloud management automater, the target database storing data for the target cloud management automater, the merging including restoring the source database into the target database, the source database formed by a source data generator;

performing a schema upgrade of the target database; and

upgrading service components at the target cloud management automater based on the migration package.

9. A method as defined in claim 8 , wherein the migration package includes at least one of source database data from the source cloud management automater, a password, encryption data, an email template, or source component data.

10. A method as defined in claim 9 , further including re-encrypting at least one of the source database data, the password, or private data.

11. A method as defined in claim 8 , further including performing a second database schema upgrade on a second database at a target Internet as a service (IaaS) component.

12. A method as defined in claim 11 , further including re-encrypting the second database at the target IaaS component.

13. A method as defined in claim 8 , wherein the service components include Windows-based components and Linux-based components.

14. A method as defined in claim 8 , further including determining if a service component corresponding to the source cloud management automater is to be upgraded based on requirements of the target cloud management automater.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:

generate a migration package corresponding to a source cloud management automater, the source cloud management automater being a first management environment;

migrate data of the migration package into a target cloud management automater, the target cloud management automater being a second management environment;

merge a source database and a target database at the target cloud management automater, the target database storing data for the target cloud management automater, the merge including restoring the source database into the target database, the source database formed by a source data generator;

perform a schema upgrade of the target database; and

upgrade service components at the target cloud management automater based on the migration package.

16. A computer readable medium as defined in claim 15 , wherein the migration package includes at least one of source database data from the source cloud management automater, a password, encryption data, an email template, or source component data.

17. A computer readable medium as defined in claim 16 , wherein the instructions cause the machine to re-encrypt at least one of the source database data, the password, or private data.

18. A computer readable medium as defined in claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the machine to perform a second database schema upgrade on a second database at a target Internet as a service (IaaS) component.

19. A computer readable medium as defined in claim 18 , wherein the instructions cause the machine to re-encrypt the second database at the target IaaS component.

20. A computer readable medium as defined in claim 15 , wherein the service components include Windows-based components and Linux-based components.

21. A computer readable medium as defined in claim 15 , further including instructions to cause the machine to determine if a service component corresponding to the source cloud management automater is to be upgraded based on requirements of the target cloud management automater.
