[Solved] Cloud Computing Lab 4-Live Migration in a Group

Lab 4: Live Migration in a Group

Dear VM Nomads

• After migrate your first VM, you now need to move to a place with rich resource
• Migrating many docker images and doing it lively until your system halts
• Analysis why it halts and understand the idea of resource bottleneck

Goal for Lab 4

• Objectives:
• Understanding the basic techniques for VM migration
• Migrate containers to test your migration skill
• Understanding the concept of checkpoint and restore
• Successfully migrate multiple images either one by one or in a batch 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
• New stuff: Write a script to move docker image automatically

Hints and Remarks

• 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 mail list and GitHub issues
• Either you steam your docker image or repeat your previous experiment in a fast loop
• Increase the number of concurrency and see when your system freezes
• In your report, you can show us when your system fails, how it fails and why

Bonus: if you find a way to fix the bottleneck and show us how it is being fixed based on reasons you found, you will get bonus points
