Application preparation for H2020 project proposal MIGRATE for the call id ID: ICT-40-2020

According to Gartner, by 2022, more than 50% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside the Cloud, as it is often more efficient, reliable and secure to process the data close to the thing or person generating it. This has led to the emergence of Edge computing, which comprises software modules running both in the Cloud and on devices at the edge of the network such as gateways, routers, switches, small base stations, etc. Gartner also warns that “the cost of deploying and managing an edge computing environment can easily exceed the project’s financial benefits”. This is the main challenge addressed by MIGRATE, which will help and support the industry to migrate part of their cloud-only solutions to the edges, so as to maximize the benefits of this migration and reduce the costs and risks related to this migration. Cloud Native applications. MIGRATE will address this challenge by delivering a tool-set and a methodology for the Continuous and Risk-Driven Migration of Cloud Applications to Trustworthy Smart Cloud Continuum Applications. This will include tools and methods for (i) the continuous migration from Cloud to the Smart Cloud continuum, supporting developers in identifying how and which part of a system to migrate, including security and privacy aspects; and (ii) the context-aware and trustworthy operation of smart cloud continuum applications
