Live migration allows a running operating system (OS) to be moved another physical machine with negligible downtime. Unfortunately, live is not supported in bare-metal clouds, which lease machines rather than virtual offer maximum hardware performance. Since clouds have no virtualization software, implementing difficult. Previous studies proposed OS-level migration; however, prevent user interv...

As virtualization continues to become increasingly popular in enterprise and organizational networks, operators and administrators are turning to live migration of virtual machines for the purpose of workload balancing and management. However, the security of live virtual machine migration has yet to be analyzed. This paper looks at this poorly explored area and attempts to empirically demonstr...

The field of live VM (virtual machine) migration has been a hotspot problem in green cloud computing. Live VM migration problem is divided into two research aspects: live VM migration mechanism and live VM migration policy. In the meanwhile, with the development of energy-aware computing, we have focused on the VM placement selection of live migration, namely live VM migration policy for energy...

Virtualization is a key technology for cloud computing as it allows several operating system instances to run on the same machine, enhances resource manageability and enables flexible definition of billing units. Virtualization works by adding a software layer, a hypervisor, on top of the hardware platform. Virtual Machines, VMs, are run on top of the hypervisor, which provisions hardwares reso...

Live virtual machine (VM) migration is a technique for transferring an active VM from one physical host to another without disrupting the VM. In principle, live VM migration enables dynamic resource requirements to be matched with available physical resources, leading to better performance and reduced energy consumption. However, in practice, the resource consumption and latency of live VM migr...

Are immigrants who live in states where large numbers of their compatriots reside more or less likely to migrate than those who live in other states? Using 1980 U.S. Census data to address that question, the analysis shows that nativity concentration deters interstate migration but not migration within the same state. Residing in a state where fellow nationals live is a more important determina...

Live migration has been proposed to reduce the downtime for migrated VMs by pre-copying the generated run-time memory state files from the original host to the migration destination host. However, if the rate for such a dirty memory generation is high, it may take a long time to accomplish live migration because a large amount of data needs to be transferred. In extreme cases when dirty memory ...
