1. A method to maintain application performances upon transfer between cloud computing environments, the method comprising:

  • determining a plurality of performance metrics associated with a customer application in a source cloud computing environment;

    computing a plurality of performance parameters based on the performance metrics associated with the customer application in the source cloud computing environment;

    combining the plurality of performance parameters to a source Cloud Computing Applicability Score (CCAS) in a weighted manner;

    determining whether a target CCAS matches or exceeds the source CCAS, wherein the target CCAS is a weighted combination of a plurality of performance parameters computed based on performance metrics associated with the customer application in a target cloud computing environment; and

    in response to a determination that the target CCAS matches or exceeds the source CCAS, automatically migrating the customer application to the target cloud computing environment;

    elseadapting the target cloud computing environment for the customer application such that the target CCAS matches or exceeds the source CCAS by adjusting a weighting of one or more of the plurality of performance parameters for the target CCAS prior to the migration of the customer application to the target computing environment.
