Mitigating Interference During Virtual Machine Live Migration Through Storage Offloading, Morgan S. Stuart
Mitigating Interference During Virtual Machine Live Migration Through Storage Offloading, Morgan S. Stuart
Theses and Dissertations
Today's cloud landscape has evolved computing infrastructure into a dynamic, high utilization, service-oriented paradigm. This shift has enabled the commoditization of large-scale storage and distributed computation, allowing engineers to tackle previously untenable problems without large upfront investment. A key enabler of flexibility in the cloud is the ability to transfer running virtual machines across subnets or even datacenters using live migration. However, live migration can be a costly process, one that has the potential to interfere with other applications not involved with the migration. This work investigates storage interference through experimentation with real-world systems and well-established benchmarks. In order to …
