System and method for hand-offs in cloud environments
First Claim
1. A method to handle a hand-off in a cloud computing environment, the method comprising:
- identifying, at a cloud governance module of a server device, a plurality of applications executing on a plurality of servers belonging to a plurality of cloud computing service providers;
determining, at the cloud governance module, based upon information in a policy module, to hand-off an execution of at least one identified application executing on a first cloud computing service provider platform to a second cloud computing service provider;
determining, at the cloud governance module, whether the second cloud computing service provider satisfies a governance policy associated with the at least one identified application; and
handing-off, using the cloud governance module, the execution of the at least one identified application to a second cloud computing provider platform based upon the second cloud computing provider being compliant with the governance policy associated with the at least one identified application, wherein the handing-off comprises transferring a current state associated with the execution of the at least one identified application to the second cloud computing service platform.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium for handling hand-offs in a cloud computing environment is provided. The method includes identifying, at a cloud governance module of a server device, a plurality of applications executing on a plurality of servers belonging to a plurality of cloud computing service providers. The method includes determining based upon information in a policy module, to hand-off an execution of at least one identified application executing on a first cloud computing service provider platform to a second cloud computing service provider, determining whether the second cloud computing service provider satisfies one or more governance policies associated with the at least one identified application, and handing-off the execution of the at least one identified application to a second cloud computing provider platform based upon the second cloud computing provider being compliant with the one or more governance policies associated with the at least one identified application.

11. A non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium having one or more computer-readable instructions thereon to handle a hand-off in a cloud computing environment, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
identify, at a cloud governance module of a server device, a plurality of applications executing on a plurality of servers belonging to a plurality of cloud computing service providers; determine, at the cloud governance module, based upon information in a policy module, to hand-off an execution of at least one identified application executing on a first cloud computing service provider platform to a second cloud computing service provider; determine, at the cloud governance module, whether the second cloud computing service provider satisfies a governance policy associated with the at least one identified application; and hand-off, using the cloud governance module, the execution of the at least one identified application to a second cloud computing provider platform based upon the second cloud computing provider being compliant with the governance policy associated with the at least one identified application, wherein the hand-off comprises a transfer of a current state associated with the execution of the at least one identified application to the second cloud computing service platform. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system to handle a hand-off in a cloud computing environment, the system comprising:
-
a processor configured to; identify, at a cloud governance module of a server device, a plurality of applications executing on a plurality of servers belonging to a plurality of cloud computing service providers; determine, at the cloud governance module, based upon information in a policy module, to hand-off an execution of at least one identified application executing on a first cloud computing service provider platform to a second cloud computing service provider; determine, at the cloud governance module, whether the second cloud computing service provider satisfies a governance policy associated with the at least one identified application; and hand-off, using the cloud governance module, the execution of the at least one identified application to a second cloud computing provider platform based upon the second cloud computing provider being compliant with the governance policy associated with the at least one identified application, wherein the hand-off comprises a transfer of a current state associated with the execution of the at least one identified application to the second cloud computing service platform. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
