“…Moreover, one platform could supply some assistance that is not offered by another platform [10,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. So, application portability among different clouds or from legacy enterprises to the cloud becomes essential to preclude users from vendor lock-in [50][51][52][53][54][55]. A vast amount of the literature on application portability solutions was reviewed, and a comparative analysis is presented in Table 1.…”

“…We defined the structure of our configuration file so that the middleware layer handles and implements the cloud services even with the different designs of the configuration variables. The configuration is not hardcoded in the middleware code [48][49][50][51]. Instead, it is provided in a JSON file that can be changed to alter the design even if the application runs.…”

Cloud providers create a vendor-locked-in environment by offering proprietary and non-standard APIs, resulting in a lack of interoperability and portability among clouds. To overcome this deterrent, solutions must be developed to exploit multiple clouds efficaciously. This paper proposes a middleware platform to mitigate the application portability issue among clouds. A literature review is also conducted to analyze the solutions for application portability. The middleware allows an application to be ported on various platform-as-a-service (PaaS) clouds and supports deploying different services of an application on disparate clouds. The efficiency of the abstraction layer is validated by experimentation on an application that uses the message queue, Binary Large Objects (BLOB), email, and short message service (SMS) services of various clouds via the proposed middleware against the same application using these services via their native code. The experimental results show that adding this middleware mildly affects the latency, but it dramatically reduces the developer’s overhead of implementing each service for different clouds to make it portable.
