 APPROACHES TO MIGRATING
• It refers to the movement or transfer between different
physical machines without any discontinuity.
• What challenges and obstacles clients might have to
overcome to tap into the cloud?
• How their management of IT must change to secure and
control their new cloud-driven infrastructure?
• When you migrate from a client to the cloud, the issues
you will face fall into the following overall categories.

PROCESS
 CLOUD MIDDLEWARE
Another way to define middleware is to say that it is software that acts as
a liaison between applications and networks. The term is often used in the
context of cloud computing, such as public or private cloud.

Most middleware follows the service-oriented architecture (SOA) design or

is designed as a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution. SOA is an
architectural style that tries to achieve loosely coupled software
applications that interact among themselves to run as a whole.

It is adopted by organizations trying to decouple all their business units,

depending on integration and reusability for daily operations. SOA allows
organizations to use existing application and system investments.

Each of these components must be able to interact with one another and
other parts of the system. Apart from some basic components, each type of
middleware needs a specific component. For example, a database middleware
needs a database manager component.

contract rules.
● Platform interface
Middleware needs to work
across multiple platforms,
irrespective of where it
resides. This is the interface
that is in direct contact with
the backend servers.

 CHALLENGES
Scheduling:
Cloud service scheduling categorized into two categories:
user level and system level.
 At user level scheduling deals with problems raised by service
providing between both service provider and customer. Market based and
auction based schedulers are fit for ruling the supply and demand of cloud
resources. Market based resource allocation is powerful in cloud computing
environment where resources are handed over to user as a service.

 The system level scheduling handles with resource management in

datacenter. Datacenter contain many physical machines, Million request
sent from user’s side, scheduling these requests to the physical machines
done in datacenter. This scheduling affect the performance of datacenter.
Service provisioning in cloud systems based on Service Level Agreement
(SLA). SLA is the contract between service provider and customer
mentioning the terms of agreement
including the nonfunctional requirement represented as QoS.
 CHALLENGES
Admission Control: The main purpose of admission control is to
provide strong performance. At admission control time, the
Infrastructure Provider (IP) must consider the extra requirement
along with the fundamental computational and networking necessities
that may be required to be added to runtime so it become flexible.
In many cases, these flexible requirements may be very large
comparing it to the normal requirements. For example, if there are
many users are working on cloud application with high divergence,
the number of virtual machines are required more and that may be
added at runtime many times multiple of the number of the basic
ones. So that, the number of flexible requirements plays important
role in the total requirements and therefore the cost of hosting the
service
 CHALLENGES
Resource provisioning:
Dynamic resource provisioning is the process of assigning available
resources to the cloud application. Resource allocation will make
services suffer if the allocation not managed in the right way.
Resource provisioning will solve this problem by allowing the service
providers to manage the resources of modules individually.

Resource Allocation Strategy (RAS) is all about integrating service

providerservices activities to allocate insufficient resources within
the limit of cloud environment so that it meets the needs of the
cloud application. It need the demand and type of resources for each
application to complete the user task.The order and allocation time
for resources are inputs for
optimal RAS.
