Abstract
Inter-Cloud virtual machine (VM) migration is of great interest today to fulfill the applications’ and services’ requirements for ubiquitous resources availability anywhere and on-demand. But to migrate large volume operating systems, we will need huge network resources trough the best-effort underlying Internet. To deal with this impractical requirement, we have chosen the pre-copy migration strategy. We have proven, however, that we still need a high bandwidth for the beginning of the migration process and a low latency link for the final downtime phase. As a solution, we propose an Inter-Cloud Polymorphic Network (ICPN) design combining packet and circuit switching paradigms to meet the conflicting migrations’ network requirements. To ensure the migration transparency, we propose an admission control strategy based on the VMware vMotion downtime delay value.
