Method and system to determine an immediate lift and shift migration environment for applications in a distributed environment

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing application migration, the method comprising:

• inferring dependencies and connectivity among applications executing on a distributed system, wherein the applications are operatively connected through a network;
• generating a target infrastructure node (IN) configuration template based on the inferred dependencies and connectivity;
• making a determination that a configuration of a target IN satisfies the target IN configuration template, wherein an application is executing on an IN, wherein the application is not executing on the target IN, wherein the distributed system comprises the IN and the target IN;
• and
• initiating migration, based on the determination, of the application to the target IN.

A system for managing application migration, the system comprising:

• a processor comprising circuitry;
• memory comprising instructions, which when executed perform a method, the method comprising:
• inferring dependencies and connectivity among applications executing on a distributed system, wherein the applications are operatively connected through a network;
• generating a target infrastructure node (IN) configuration template based on the inferred dependencies and connectivity;
• making a determination that a configuration of a target IN satisfies the target IN configuration template, wherein an application is executing on an IN, wherein the application is not executing on the target IN, wherein the distributed system comprises the IN and the target IN;
• and
• initiating migration, based on the determination, of the application to the target IN.
