Abstract

Cloud computing has been in the center of attention recently. Its popularity has increased significantly. More and more companies decide to use a cloud for running their applications. However, this introduces certain problems, such as vendor lock-in. Without a widely used standard, the systems become incompatible with each other. This thesis introduces a way to reduce the risk of vendor lock-in and uses open source technologies in order to make it available to as many people as possible. The explored solution is easy-to-use and light-weight compared to other ones. Furthermore, the use of certain technologies over others is suggested in the thesis to further reduce the risks of being locked to a single cloud provider.
