[Solved] Cloud Computing Lab 3-Live Migration

Lab 3: Live Migration

• After practicing some basic scripts, you shall obtain some basic senses on control the environment using your code
• Now it is time to do super cool, or as French would say, suber cool, things
• Migrating docker images and doing it lively

Goal for Lab 3

• Objectives:
• Understanding the basic techniques for VM migration
• Using docker container as an example to test your migration skill
• Understanding the concept of checkpoint and restore
• Successfully migrate your image from one host to another
• Writing a decent report

To Start

• Learn to do live migration in docker
• Using Checkpoint and Restore (CRIU) tool in docker to do this job
• https://criu.org/Live_migration is your source to check
• Ask one of our friend/roommate and migrate your Golang job (with your ID or name) to his/her place
• Measure the duration of migration and collect all other runtime statistics

Hints and Remarks

• It is a fairly easy experiment to test, thus please do your best to finish on your own
• DO NOT copy others words since it will not work anyway
• If I found out duplicated submission from two individuals, you may guess what would happen
• CRIU tool is your best way to make it happen or you may implement your own code to do it
• More information can be found in docker-engine maillist and GitHub issues
