Claim:
1. A method for automatically generating an entry of a service catalog of a cloud-computing environment, wherein the cloud-computing environment comprises a cloud-management platform, wherein the cloud-management platform comprises a processor of a computer system that has access to an infrastructure-discovery tool and an application-discovery tool, and wherein the entry comprises information associated with migrating a virtual service provided by a non-cloud virtualized environment to the cloud-computing environment, the method comprising: the processor receiving infrastructure information about a virtualized computing infrastructure of the virtualized computing environment from the infrastructure-discovery tool, wherein the virtualized computing infrastructure comprises a first physical computer that runs a first application on a first virtual machine, wherein the virtual service requires the first application, and wherein the received information comprises a characteristic of the first virtual machine; the processor further receiving application information about a characteristic of the first application from the application-discovery tool; and the processor generating the entry as a function of the infrastructure information, of a characteristic of the cloud-computing environment, and of a characteristic of the virtual service.
