From: A critical survey of live virtual machine migration techniques
Approach | Objective | Technique | Performance metrics | Hypervisor /Simulator |
---|---|---|---|---|
Liu et al. [119]-2009 | Achieve fast, transparent VM migration | Design and implementation of a novel approach CR/TR-Motion | Reduce migration overheads compared with pre-copy algorithm: service downtime, total migration time, data to synchronize the VM state, application performance overhead up to 72.4%, 31.5%, 95.9%, 8.54% respectively | Real cloud setup |
Liu and Fan [120]-2011 | Fast and transparent live migration | Novel approach based on recovering system (log files) and CPU scheduling | Proposed hybrid technique compared with pre-copy algorithm can reduce total migration time and service downtime : up to 43.84%, 62.12% | Xen 3.0.1 |
Hirofuchi et al. [121]-2010 | VM migrations within LAN network | Advanced live migration mechanism that enables instantaneous VM relocation on physical machines | Reduced the total number of transferred memory pages, and efficiently copied them by utilizing available network bandwidth | KVM-84/88 and qemu-kvm-0.11 |
