Method and system for migration of multi-tier virtual application across different clouds hypervisor platforms
A method and system for migration of multi-tier virtual application across different clouds hypervisor platforms. The principal object of the embodiment is to provide migration of multi-tier virtual application from one vendor to another vendor cloud platforms. Another object of the embodiment is to convert entire multi-tier virtual application of a source vendor cloud platforms, along with the virtual machines, configuration and properties into a format suitable for a destination vendor cloud platforms. Another object of the embodiment is to verify the migrated application after completion of conversion and migration.
1. A method for migrating at least one application from a source cloud to a target cloud using a migration server, said method comprising:
identifying a source application package by said source cloud, wherein said source application package comprises of all virtual machines and all application level configurations associated with said migrating application;
exporting to a logical container the source application package by said source cloud to said migration server;
extracting at least application configurations from the exported application by said migration server;
converting, by a configuration convertor, the source package application into a target application package compatible with target cloud by said migration server, wherein said target application package is constructed using the extracted application configurations in the target cloud platform;
sending the target application package to the target cloud by said migration server;
launching said target application by said migration server, wherein said launching is configured to be performed in at least one of a given order, a different order and simultaneously; and
verifying said migrated target application by said migration server, wherein said verifying is configured to comprise at least matching at least a corresponding property in said target cloud with said source cloud, by a mapping table in said migration server.
2. The method as in claim 1 , further comprising migrating virtual machines by a virtual machine migration tool.
3. The method as in claim 1 , said method further comprising:
migrating virtual machines by at least a virtual machine migration tool;
finding equivalence of Application Properties and Configurations format elements between source and target clouds by at least a mapping table; and
constructing said source applications package into a target application package compatible with said target cloud by at least a conversion tool.
4. The method as in claim 1 , said method further comprising adapting said server to be deployed independently of said source cloud and said target cloud.
5. A system for migrating at least one application from a source cloud to a target cloud using a migration server, said system configured for:
identifying a source application package by said source cloud, wherein said source application package comprises of all virtual machines and all application level configurations associated with said migrating application;
exporting to a logical container the source application package by said source cloud to said migration server;
extracting at least application configurations from the exported application by said migration server;
converting, by a configuration convertor, the source package application into a target application package compatible with target cloud by said migration server, wherein said target application package is constructed using the extracted application properties in the target cloud platform;
sending the target application package to the target cloud by said migration server;
launching said target application by said migration server, wherein said launching is configured to be performed in at least one of a given order, a different order and simultaneously; and
verifying said migrated target application by said migration server, wherein said verifying is configured to comprise at least matching at least a corresponding property in said target cloud with said source cloud, by a mapping table in said migration server.
6. The system as in claim 5 , said system comprising:
at least a hardware processor; and
at least a non-transitory storage medium having a computer program code, wherein said computer program code causes said hardware processor to:
migrate virtual machines by at least a virtual machine migration tool;
find equivalence of Application Properties and Configurations format elements between source and target clouds by at least a mapping table; and
construct said source applications package into a target application package compatible with said target cloud by at least a conversion tool.
7. The system as in claim 5 , wherein said server is adapted to be deployed independently of said source cloud and said target cloud.
8. The system as in claim 5 , wherein said migration server further comprises a virtual machine migration tool for migrating virtual machines.
