Approaches for migrating non cloud-native applications to the cloud

This paper explores different strategies and tools for migrating non cloud-native or legacy applications to cloud. The approach taken involves studying the existing migration strategies and experimenting them on different types of non cloud-native applications to identify the strengths and challenges associated with each of them. Some of the commonly used platforms, tools and features currently available for supporting these migrations are also studied for their efficacy towards migration of the chosen applications. The paper concludes with a consolidated set of steps for each migration strategy, while factoring in the range of applications they are best suited for, considering their complexity and scope.
