Application and data level interoperability on virtual machine in cloud computing environment

Abstract

The rapid development of internet nowadays impact on increasing many applications that utilizing cloud computing technology for the sake of organization. Increasing requirements in applications caused by inevitable business process growth in organization enabling a tendency to switch from old cloud provider to more reliable one. However, in practice, application functionality failures often occur in case of migrating process to new cloud system due to several circumstances e.g. vendor lock-in problem. This paper introduces a new method for system migration testing between two cloud providers. The goal is to determine the interoperability level of application and data in virtual machine within hypervisor system that moves from one cloud provider to another cloud provider. The contribution of this paper is to provide a reference test method for measuring the interoperability between the two cloud systems were migrated.
