Abstract

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: input data from the source environment, including application hosting data of each server in the source environment and one or more cloud type of the source environment. Candidate cloud types for target platform are listed and servers of the source environment are screened for eligibility for the migration. The target platform is selected by applying preconfigured selection rules on the application hosting data of each eligible server in the source environment. Migration recommendations for each eligible server in the source environment, including selected cloud type corresponding to the target platform, are produced.
