Probably you need to submit to a different journal. It is not indeed a theoretically interesting contribution but it is definitely a very interesting practical application. Many journals would welcome your contribution.

It was to IEEE. Maybe that was hard mode? It was for a Cloud Conference in 2023. One of the comments “ This paper shows a linear programming problem to address cloud security. It's not clear why the LP program addresses security. Comparison with SOTA is also lacking.” “ The paper attempts a fresh perspective on Cloud Security Decisions using a well-known approach. Unfortunately, as currently presented, it does not deliver any significant research results, and thereby its contribution is limited. The paper as formulated is closer to a vision paper -- not that it actually is -- than to a research paper. This reviewer notes the limited results. No surprises, the paper is also missing an evaluation analysis of the results.” I had evaluation of results. I had never heard of a vision paper.

  It is not trivial to publish to CLOUD. 3/4 of papers get rejected. For better or worse, reviewers expect a specific structure in a paper. From the comments, it seems that you did not follow the typical structure of a research publication. Unfortunately, there are no clear guidelines; it just becomes natural with reading and writing papers. A mentor with academic experience would be a valuable resource in your case; you are probably 80% there.

    I didn’t really have much guidance and sort of winged it and that was my fault. I graduated last May and do not have any advisors any longer. I could try to rework the paper myself and fix the problems with it which I may do now that I have more time.
