Abstract

Post-copy migration allows reduction of application down-time and reduces overall network bandwidth used for application migration [4]. Migration can be used to help optimize several aspects of operations such as power efficiency[3]. The userfault technology recently introduced to the Linux kernel allows post-copy migration of virtual machines. However, this technology is missing essential features required for post-copy migration of Linux containers.

Pre-Copy and post-copy VM live migration for memory intensive applications
Euro-Par'12: Proceedings of the 18th international conference on Parallel processing workshops

Virtualization technology provides a means for server consolidation, reducing the number of physical servers required for running a given workload. Virtual Machine (VM) live migration facilitates the transfer of a running (VM) between physical hosts ...
Post-copy live migration of virtual machines

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of post-copy based live migration for virtual machines (VMs) across a Gigabit LAN. Post-copy migration defers the transfer of a VM's memory contents until after its processor state has been sent to ...
My VM is Lighter (and Safer) than your Container
SOSP '17: Proceedings of the 26th Symposium on Operating Systems Principles

Containers are in great demand because they are lightweight when compared to virtual machines. On the downside, containers offer weaker isolation than VMs, to the point where people run containers in virtual machines to achieve proper isolation. In this ...
