Abstract

Taking advantage of the capabilities offered by Cloud computing requires either an application to be built specifically for it, or for existing applications to be migrated to it. In this work we focus on the latter case, and in particular on migrating the application data. Migrating data to the Cloud creates a series of technical, architectural and legal challenges that the State of the Art attempts to address. We organize such efforts into a set of migration scenarios and connect them with a list of reusable solutions for the application data migration in the form of patterns. From there we define an application data migration methodology and we demonstrate how it can be used in practice.
