Abstract

The motivation for this work is the necessity to be able to select an appropriate Cloud service provider offering for the migration of existing applications, based on cost minimization. While service providers offer pricing information publicly, and online tools allow for the calculation of cost for various Cloud offerings, the selection of which offering fits better the application requirements is left to application developers. For this purpose, this work proposes a migration decision support system that incorporates both offering matching and cost calculation, combining features from various approaches in the State of the Art. The proposed approach is then evaluated against existing tools.
