Data storage management system for holistic protection of serverless applications across multi-cloud computing environments

A method for migrating a serverless application operating in a first cloud computing environment to a second cloud computing environment, the method comprising:

• by a first computing device, generating a list of assets associated with a first application operating in a first cloud computing environment accessed by a first cloud service account, wherein the first computing device comprises one or more hardware processors;
• by the first computing device, generating a first application-entity definition that corresponds to the first application and comprises the list of assets associated with the first application;
• by the first computing device, initiating a storage management operation for the first application-entity, wherein the storage management operation generates a first set of copies of the assets associated with the first application;
• and
• wherein the first set of copies represent a point-in-time copy of the first application at a time when the storage management operation was initiated for the first application-entity;
• by the first computing device, causing the first set of copies to migrate to a second cloud computing environment, based at least in part on generating a cloud service definition in the second cloud computing environment from the application-entity;
• and
• activating the first application in the second cloud computing environment, wherein the first application uses assets migrated from the first set of copies.

A method for migrating an application from a non-cloud data center to a cloud computing environment:

• by a first computing device, discovering first assets associated with a first application that executes in a non-cloud data center;
• by the first computing device, generating a first application-entity definition that corresponds to the first application and is associated with a list of the first assets;
• initiating by the first computing device a storage management operation for the first application-entity, wherein the storage management operation generates a first set of copies of the first assets associated with the first application;
• by the first computing device, accessing a first cloud computing environment;
• by the first computing device, generating a cloud services definition for the first application in the first cloud computing environment, based at least in part on converting an asset mapping associated with the first application-entity into the cloud services definition that is suitable for the first cloud computing environment;
• causing by the first computing device the first set of copies to be migrated to the first cloud computing environment;
• and
• activating the first application at the first cloud computing environment, based at least in part on the cloud services definition, wherein the first application uses assets migrated from the first set of copies.
