A Survey on Techniques of Secure Live Migration of Virtual Machine
نویسنده
چکیده
Live migration is an essential feature of virtualization that allows transfer of virtual machine from one physical server to another without interrupting the services running in virtual machine. Live migration facilitates workload balancing, fault tolerance, online system maintenance, consolidation of virtual machines etc. Unfortunately the disclosed vulnerabilities with the live migration pose significant security risks. Because of these security risks the industry is hesitant to adapt the technology for sensitive applications. This paper is an investigation of attacks on live migration of virtual machine and discusses the key proposed and implemented approaches to secure live migration. General Terms Virtualization, live migration, security.

Analytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration
In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...
متن کاملA Versioning Approach to VM Live Migration
In the context of virtual machines live migration, two strategies called “pre-copy” and “post-copy” have already been presented; but each of these strategies works well only in some circumstances. In this paper, we have a brief presentation of QAVNS and then introduce a new approach which is based on the concept of "informational object", assigning QAVNS-scheme-revision number, and observing th...
متن کاملA Near Optimal Approach in Choosing The Appropriate Physical Machines for Live Virtual Machines Migration in Cloud Computing
Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...
متن کاملLive Migration of Virtual Machine in Cloud: Survey of Issues and Solutions
Cloud computing is a technology that is built on the theory of virtualizationthe idea to allow multiple virtual machines to share the resources of a host. One of the features of virtualization is live migration. This feature will allow one or more virtual machines to be migrated from one host to another without interfering with applications running on those virtual machines. However, there are ...
متن کاملA version numbering scheme for informational objects used in VM live migration
Various numbering schemes are used to track different versions and revisions of files, software packages, and documents. One major challenge in this regard is the lack of an all-purpose, adaptive, comprehensive and efficient standard. To resolve the challenge, this article presents Quadruple Adaptive Version Numbering Scheme. In the proposed scheme, the version identifier consists of four integ...
