On this talk we are going to discuss what has changed on KVM migration since LinuxCon2012.

Migration thread
We discuss the work of moving the execution of outgoing live migration to a separate dedicated thread. Using a separate thread for live migration reduces contention with the IO thread and vcpus: higher throughput and more reliable downtime. Move migration to use synchronous IO. 

Block Migration
Now we can migrate storage, independently of how we are handling migration itself.


Migration performance on large guests

  • Performance on very large guests and the issues we encounter with such a guest. This discussion will include convergence and actual downtime
  • Live migration effects on the running guest (downtime and guest download impact)
  • Resource consumption
  • XBZRLE compression
  • Postcopy migration?
  • Use RDMA?


What is on the pipeline?
