Embodiment Construction

[0078] For convenience, the Detailed Description has the following sections: Section 1: Cloud Computing Definition; and Section 2: Specific Implementation.

[0079] Section 1: Cloud computing definition

[0080] Many of the following definitions have been taken from "Draft NIST Working Definition of Cloud Computing" by Peter Mell and Tim Grance, dated October 7, 2009.

[0081] Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to shared pools of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be provided with minimal administrative effort or service Provider interactions rapidly provision and release these resources. This cloud model facilitates availability and includes at least five characteristics, at least three service models, and at least four deployment models.

[0082] The characteristics are as follows:

[0083] On-demand self-service: Consumers can automatically and unilaterally pro...

Abstract

In an embodiment, an approach is provided that retrieves a source image metadata from a persistent storage media, where the source image metadata corresponds to a source image associated with a source platform, compares the retrieved source image metadata to image metadata corresponding to available virtual images associated with a target platform, identifies, based on the comparison, one of the available image metadata that is most compatible to the source image metadata, and uses the available virtual image corresponding to the identified available image metadata as a target virtual image compatible with the target platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of distributed computer systems. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and system for porting virtual images between platforms. Background technique [0002] Cloud computing is a term describing Internet-based services. Internet-based services are hosted by service providers. A service provider may provide hardware infrastructure or software applications to requesting clients over a computer network. Requesting clients can use traditional client-based "browser" software applications to access the software applications, while the software (instructions) and data are stored on servers maintained by the cloud computing provider. [0003] In order for service providers to take advantage of running applications in a cloud computing environment, service providers need to be able to move their existing applications into the cloud computing environment. Alternatively, service providers may need ...
