Cloud computing attracts users with its advantage of unlimited resource supply where resources can be elastically expanded on demand and balanced-load at the same time. This means that the application in the cloud environment should run in the way of elastic expansion cluster. At present, most of the elastic expansion and load balancing technologies provided by IaaS level are oriented to virtual machines (VM), with little consideration of application level, which does not fundamentally meet the needs of users. Based on this, starting from the motivation of cloud migration, we first analyse the cloud migration technology from three aspects: migration object, migration means and migration objectives, then explore the cloud migration criteria and four cloud migration strategies at the application level in the cloud environment, and point out that cloud migration should be optimized and maintained in terms of elastic expansion, load balancing, security, etc.
