Efficient Live Virtual Machine Migration In Open Cloud Platform

Abstract

Computing resources can be accessed on pay as you go basis in cloud computing. Virtualization is the core idea behind cloud computing. Live migration is the process of transferring a running virtual machine between different physical computer nodes without disconnecting the user. In live migration process system memory are transferred from the source physical host machine to the target machine. Live Migration is beneficial for load balancing and energy saving of physical machines in cloud computing.

Live migration leads to performance loss that cannot be ignored in cloud computing, if critical business goals are to be met. This work classifies and evaluates current technique with respect to determine costs of virtual machine live migration with respect of total migration time.

The dissertation mainly focus on how migration process work and how to minimize the total migration time .Live migration problem is addressed by the various technique of migration.
