Abstract

E-government services migration to the public cloud presents novel policy and technical challenges. This paper explores possible technical obstacles one should anticipate when migrating e-government services to cloud. Technical experiment design is presented, implementation process and the steps taken are elaborated; performance experiments are presented together with findings that were considered significant in the process. Main findings of migration experiments are organized into six groups: security, identity and data architecture findings; operations architecture findings; application architecture findings; compute architecture findings; storage architecture findings; and network architecture findings.
