Cloud computing is emerging as the most promising technology for software development, changing the way customers interact with their data and applications. There are many reasons that drive the choice of moving to cloud: • companies no longer need to buy, store, and maintain expensive hardware infrastructures, reducing time and money involved in maintaining, updating, and repairing their own equipments; • hardware dimensioning is not to be related to peak workload any more, but the infrastructure can be dynamically scaled according to the current needs. This results in a better use of the existing resources; • customers pay only for the resources they actually use, following a “Pay as you Go” paradigm; • using distributed resources, including data centers and computing nodes, can enhance systems’ resiliency and disaster recovery; • the possibility to choose among
