1. A cloud information migration method comprising:

  • performing, utilizing at least one computer processor, a migration interpretation process including retrieving first migration initiation information from a first cloud data storage provider and second migration initiation information from a second cloud data storage provider, and interpreting the first and second migration initiation information, wherein the first migration initiation information includes at least one of a type of the first cloud data storage provider and a name of the first cloud data storage provider and the second migration initiation information includes a type of the second cloud data storage provider and a name of the second cloud data storage provider;

    performing a migration information retrieval process to automatically retrieve information in a first configuration from the first cloud data storage provider in accordance with the first migration initiation information, the first cloud data storage provider utilizing a first physical network architecture, wherein the information in the first configuration includes data and separate metadata, and wherein the first and second migration initiation information are different from the data and separate metadata;

    performing a migration information configuration process, including automatically converting the retrieved information including the data and separate metadata in the first configuration to information in a second configuration, wherein the second configuration is compatible with the second cloud data storage provider, the second cloud data storage provider utilizing a second physical network architecture distinct from the first physical network architecture, and wherein the migration information configuration process further includes removing the metadata associated with the first cloud data storage provider and inserting second metadata associated with the second cloud data storage provider;

    determining a first route for migrating the information from the first cloud data storage provider and a second route for migrating the information to the second cloud data storage provider;

    selecting one of the first route and the second route as a migration route to forward the information to the second cloud data storage provider based on characteristics of the first route and the second route; and

    performing a migration information forwarding process to automatically forward the information in the second configuration to the second cloud data storage provider via the migration route in accordance with the second migration initiation information.
