Cloud Interoperability and Portability

This document discusses cloud computing interoperability and portability. It defines cloud interoperability as the ability of cloud services to exchange information and interact according to a standard. Cloud portability is the ability to move data and applications between cloud services without needing to re-enter data. The document then outlines five scenarios requiring interoperability and portability and identifies seven categories of cloud portability and interoperability, including data, application, and platform portability as well as various types of interoperability. It provides references for further information.

Cloud interoperability
• Interoperability is the ability of two or more systems or
applications to exchange information and to mutually use the
information that has been exchanged. Cloud interoperability is the
ability of a customer’s system to interact with a cloud service or the
ability for one cloud service to interact with other cloud services by
exchanging information according to a prescribed method to obtain
predictable results.
Cloud interoperability have been divided into five layers
Cloud portability
Portability, on the other hand, is moving the data and/or
applications from one system to another and having it remain useable
or executable. Cloud data portability is the ability to easily move data
from one cloud service to another without needing to re-enter the
data. Cloud application portability is the ability to migrate an
application from one cloud service to another or between a customer’s
environment and a cloud service.
The Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC) guide to cloud
portability and interoperability has  identified five major scenarios
requiring interoperability and portability:

• Switching cloud service providers – the customer wants to move an


application and data from Cloud 1 to Cloud 2;

• Use of multiple cloud service providers – the customer subscribes to


the same or different services from two or more clouds (Clouds 1 and
2 in the diagram);
• Directly linked cloud services – the customer needs Cloud 1 to be
linked to Cloud 3 to make use of its services;

• Hybrid cloud configuration – the customer connects legacy


systems to an internal private cloud (e.g., Cloud 1) which is linked
to a public cloud service (e.g., Cloud 3)

• Cloud migration – the customer moves one or more in-house


applications and/or data to Cloud 1.
•  Interoperability and/or portability may be required between legacy
systems and cloud services (either public or private, in-house or
hosted) and between two or more public and/or private cloud
services. A cloud service broker may be a factor through its role as
an intermediary between the customer and the cloud service
provider(s).
The cloud computing portability and interoperability categories are:

• Data Portability
• Application Portability
• Platform Portability
platform source portability
 machine image portability
• Application Interoperability
• Platform Interoperability
• Management Interoperability
• Publication and Acquisition
Interoperability
