Abstract
Methods and systems may be associated with application integration in a multi-cloud computing environment. A modeling platform may determine a pattern composition for an integration process associated with a business application. A cost-aware platform may transform a decomposed version of the pattern composition, including a plurality of integration pattern contract graphs, into a multi-cloud cost problem optimization representation. An initial solution to the cost problem representation may be calculated using a modified first fit decreasing bin packing or similar algorithm to determine a configuration of multi-cloud containers and integration pattern contract graph container assignments. The system may then iteratively and locally improve the solution to by applying feasible transformations to create variant container configurations and integration pattern contract graph container assignments that are evaluated based on multi-cloud costs (keeping the user in-the-loop). When a termination criteria is satisfied, an indication of the improved solution may be output.
