Methods and systems for migrating virtual private cloud (VPC) resources across public cloud environments
Methods and systems for migrating resources of a virtual private cloud across public cloud environments are described. The method performed by server system includes discovering a plurality of resources associated with a source cloud via an application programming interface (API) of the source cloud and generating resource models associated with the plurality of resources based, at least in part, on the discovered resources of the source cloud. The resource models include information of the plurality of resources and relationships between the plurality of resources. The method includes storing the resource models associated with the source cloud in a database and migrating the plurality of resources of the source cloud to a different region of the source cloud or a target cloud based, at least in part, on the resource models associated with the plurality of resources.

8. A server system, comprising:
a communication interface;
a memory comprising executable instructions; and
a processor communicably coupled to the communication interface, the processor configured to execute the executable instructions to cause the server system to at least:

generate resource models associated with the plurality of resources based, at least in part, on the discovered resources of the source cloud, the resource models comprising information of the plurality of resources and relationships between the plurality of resources,
store the resource models associated with the source cloud in a database, and
migrate the plurality of resources of the source cloud to a different region of the source cloud or a target cloud based, at least in part, on the resource models associated with the plurality of resources;
wherein, to migrate the plurality of resources to the target cloud, the server system is further caused to:
transmit the resource models associated the plurality of resources of the source cloud to the target cloud;
translate the resource models into equivalent resource models compatible with the target cloud; and
create a plurality of first resources for the target cloud based, at least in part, on the equivalent resource models, the plurality of resources in the source cloud mapped to the plurality of first resources in the target cloud.
9. The server system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the source cloud and the target cloud are types of virtual private cloud (VPC).
10. The server system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the server system is further caused to:
update the resource models corresponding to the source cloud at predefined time intervals.
11. The server system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein, to generate the resource models associated with the plurality of resources of source cloud, the server system is further caused to:
