Abstract
Apparatus for pattern-based migration of a source workload to a target workload at a target deployment which includes a discovery engine, a decision system, a deployment manager, a pattern deployment engine and a residual migration and remediation system. The discovery engine takes the source deployment as an input and discovers metadata associated with the deployed components of the source workload and the IT topology. The deployment manager in cooperation with the pattern deployment engine at the target determines a closest starting-point template to be used for pattern-based target workload deployment. The decision system receives the metadata from the discovery engine and in cooperation with the deployment manager makes a go or no-go decision whether to trigger pattern-based target workload. The residual migration and remediation system finds any undiscovered source workload components and deploys the undiscovered workload components to the target deployment by an image-based migration.
