Abstract:
A method and associated system automatically migrates a non-cloud service from a legacy non-cloud virtualized computing environment into a cloud-computing environment. These methods and systems enhance standard cloud-management systems with the introduction of independent infrastructure-discovery and application-discovery tools. By autonomously examining the legacy non-cloud environment, these tools can produce information describing characteristics of the legacy service in sufficient detail to enable the cloud-management system to generate and automatically insert an entry for the legacy service into the cloud-computing environment's service catalog. When a user of the cloud-computing environment subsequently requests the non-cloud service, the cloud-management platform may then use the new entry to provision the legacy service as though it had been a standard cloud service.

Claim (Index 9):
A computer program product, comprising a computer-readable hardware storage device having a computer-readable program code stored therein, the program code configured to be executed by a processor of a cloud-management system of a cloud-computing environment to implement a method for automatically migrating a legacy non-cloud application into the cloud-computing environment, the method comprising:\n receiving, by the processor, infrastructure information about a virtualized computing infrastructure of a legacy virtualized non-cloud computing environment,\n where the infrastructure information is automatically identified by an infrastructure-discovery module hosted by the cloud-computing environment, \n where the virtualized computing infrastructure comprises a first virtual machine, provisioned on a first physical computer, that hosts a first application, and \n where the received infrastructure information comprises a characteristic of the first virtual machine; and \n inserting, by the processor, a new entry into a service catalog of the cloud-computing environment\n where the new entry is configured as a function of the received infrastructure information, of a characteristic of the cloud-computing environment, and of a characteristic of a virtual service required by the first application, \n where the virtual service is a legacy application hosted on the legacy virtualized non-cloud computing environment, and \n where the new entry comprises information associated with migrating the virtual service from the legacy virtualized non-cloud environment to the cloud-computing environment.
