Non-functional data layer patterns for Cloud applications

摘要

Cloud services allow for hosting applications partially or completely in the Cloud by migrating their components and data. Especially with respect to data migration, a series of functional and non-functional challenges like data confidentiality arise when considering private and public Cloud data stores. In this paper we identify some of these challenges and propose a set of reusable solutions focusing on the non-functional aspects, organized together as a set of Cloud Data Patterns.
