Design and Implementation of Migration Manager between Cloud Edge Platforms

Abstract

Live migration is the process of moving an application of a running virtual machine between physical machines without disconnecting the client or application. In recent years, as cloud computing has developed at a rapid pace, numerous virtual systems have been developed, and container-type operating system level virtualization technology, which is attracting attention at a higher speed and lower resource consumption rate than a virtual machine which use Hypervisor. The tool that deploys and manages these containers is called a container orchestration tool, and the most widely used orchestration framework is Kubernetes. Currently, there is no function for live migration in Kubernetes. In this paper, we developed an environment where containers can be live migration in Kubernetes, and research was conducted to reduce downtime of live migration.
