Abstract:
Virtualizing the cloud data center as multiple VMs running parallel on a cloud server is a practical solution to the exponentially grown number of cloud users. The fluctuations in the number of required resources, like networking, storage, and computing resources, can be met by dynamic VM migration. The method by which cloud providers manage VMs and hardware resources to decrease costs and ensure the quality of services is of great importance, especially when the cloud is under a heavy workload. VM migration is one of the most fundamental and practical practices in managing the clouds. Despite all the benefits of VM migration, it also brings overhead on the source host, destination host, and communication link. Therefore, the migration technique itself is paramount. In this research, we presented X-ray Copy, a new migration technique that is superior to the current migration techniques in terms of performance and side effects
