In an approach for migrating cloud services between cloud providers, a processor transforms a set of IaC resources of a cloud service on an initial cloud provider into a reference architecture to be deployed to a set of cloud providers. A processor gathers a set of indicators from the set of cloud providers. A processor compares the set of indicators from the set of cloud providers. Responsive to determining that an affinity score was reached for an alternate cloud provider, a processor outputs an alert to an owner of the cloud service, wherein the alert requests approval to migrate the cloud service from the initial cloud provider to the alternate cloud provider. Responsive to receiving approval from the owner, a processor migrates the cloud service to the alternate cloud provider.

Migration of cloud services

For the transfer of bulk data between a client computer system and at least one server computer system, throughput-relevant information is gathered from system components involved in the transfer. The information gathered is passed to a knowledge base that holds algorithms and data on relations and combinations of throughput-relevant information. By means of the knowledge base a set of performance parameters is generated that are effective to achieve a maximum data throughput. The determined set of performance parameters is used for a setup and configuration of a data transfer controller that controls the system complex for the transfer a maximum of data within a minimum amount of time and to reduce the expenditure for the system setup and configuration before the transfer is started. The data transfer may be part of backup and restore operations of bulk data.
