“…Defining "application portability" is essential before finding any solutions for it. Therefore, the literature was explored to retrieve the most appropriate definitions, which also revolve around PaaS portability [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] (although PaaS portability may involve much more than application portability). "Application portability" is the ease with which an application developed on one platform may be transferred and reused on another forum or different infrastructures within a cloud.…”

Cloud providers create a vendor-locked-in environment by offering proprietary and non-standard APIs, resulting in a lack of interoperability and portability among clouds. To overcome this deterrent, solutions must be developed to exploit multiple clouds efficaciously. This paper proposes a middleware platform to mitigate the application portability issue among clouds. A literature review is also conducted to analyze the solutions for application portability. The middleware allows an application to be ported on various platform-as-a-service (PaaS) clouds and supports deploying different services of an application on disparate clouds. The efficiency of the abstraction layer is validated by experimentation on an application that uses the message queue, Binary Large Objects (BLOB), email, and short message service (SMS) services of various clouds via the proposed middleware against the same application using these services via their native code. The experimental results show that adding this middleware mildly affects the latency, but it dramatically reduces the developer’s overhead of implementing each service for different clouds to make it portable.

“…Independent tools and frameworks have emerged with the goal of integrating, under a single interface, the services of multiple public and private providers (see, e.g., [3], and [4]). In a very short time, these platforms have evolved according to the mode in which developers can take advantage of integrated cloud services to expose and run their systems.…”

The diversity in the way cloud providers offer their services, give their SLAs, present their QoS, or support different technologies, makes very difficult the portability and interoperability of cloud applications, and favours the well-known vendor lock-in problem. We propose a model to describe cloud applications and the required resources in an agnostic, and providers-and resources-independent way, in which individual application modules, and entire applications, may be redeployed using different services without modification. To support this model, and after the proposal of a variety of cross-cloud application management tools by different authors, we propose going one step further in the unification of cloud services with a management approach in which IaaS and PaaS services are integrated into a unified interface. We provide support for deploying applications whose components are distributed on different cloud providers, indistinctly using IaaS and PaaS services.

“…The heterogeneity mainly arises from (i) the variability in the workflow required to complete an operation [5] and (ii) the differences in the web API through which the service providers provision their services. This paper focuses on the latter variability point.…”

Abstract. The wide exploitation of cloud resources has been hindered by the diversity on the provision of these resources and thus resulting in heterogeneity between them. Research efforts on the design of cloud applications, leveraging resources form heterogeneous cloud environments, have been concentrated on traditional cloud platform resources such as deployment capabilities and data stores. However, the emergence of the cloud application platforms has made available a wide range of platform basic services (e.g. e-mail, message queue and authentication service) that can drastically decrease the application development time. Our work focuses on eliminating the heterogeneity among the providers offering those services. To this end we propose an ontologydriven framework, which facilitates the seamless and transparent use of platform basic services provisioned by multiple clouds environments. Ontologies are leveraged to enable the homogeneous description of the functionality of the service providers.
