Abstract

Application designers are faced with a series of design decisions when considering the number of available cloud services that can be used nowadays to host one or more parts of the application. Each one of these services comes with a different pricing model, which results in additional complexity when trying to identify the most cost-efficient solution. Toward this goal, in this work we present our proposal for a design support process that covers both the migration of existing applications and the (re)design of new ones specifically for the cloud. Furthermore, we also discuss an architecture for the realization of this process, as well as our implementation of this architecture.
