An optimized approach for virtual machine live migration in cloud computing environment

Abstract

For efficient management of the cloud, there is a requirement of the virtualization in the emergent stage of cloud computing where resources such as memory, servers, virtual machines are shared across the World Wide Web. For getting or availing other facilities such as load balancing, auto-scaling, and fault tolerance, etc., in cloud computing live migration of virtual machine is required. Migrating virtual machines from one node to another without suspending the VMs is an important feature of cloud computing so that users do not have to deal with any kind of service downtime. In this research paper, a comparative study has been done for various methods of migrating the data from one node server to another node server. After that it also recognizes the optimization of the live virtual machine in migration techniques. Therefore, an optimized approach has been identified that will be beneficial in a live migration of virtual machines without affecting the node servers in a cloud computing environment.
