Live virtual machine migration is a powerful feature of virtualization technologies. It enables efficient load balancing, reduces energy consumption through dynamic consolidation, and makes infrastructure maintenance transparent to users. While live migration is available across wide area networks with state of the art systems, it remains expensive to use because of the large amounts of data to...

Live migration is commonly employed by cloud providers for performance reasons (e.g., ensuring load balancing). Recently, migration has been considered as a countermeasure against cloud-based side-channel attacks. In this paper, we discover an attack using which an adversary can effectively stall a live migration; this can not only hurt performance but also hurt the usage of virtual machine (VM...

The migration process involves three key variables: the migrant, the origin and the destination. Variations in the particular attributes of all three of these variables, together with intervening opportunities, make for complex migration behaviour. On a detailed micro level, any individual migrant will exhibit a unique combination of individual attributes relating to their age, sex, ethnicity, ...

Cloud computing has become a hot technology. The virtualization technology, one of its core support technologies, is also developing quickly. In recent years, a lot of research and practice have been done in the virtualization field. Live virtual machine migration has drawn much attention as a representative technology of the virtualization field. This paper summarizes the research progress of ...

Rho GTPases, including RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42, are key regulators of cell migration in animals. In a recent issue of Nature, two papers present delicate studies on precise roles and spatiotemporal coordination of Rho GTPases in live cells, using either a photoactivatable Rac1 or specific biosensors, together with computational multiplexing method. In addition to implications in cell migration, an...

Cloud Data Centers have become the key infrastructure for providing services. Instance migration across different computing nodes in edge and cloud is essential to guarantee quality of service dynamic environments. Many studies been conducted on resource management involving migrating Virtual Machines achieve various objectives, such as load balancing, consolidation, performance, energy-saving,...

Live Migration is one of the essential operations that require more attention to addressing its high variability problems with virtual machines. We review the existing techniques of resource management to find that there are less modeling to solve this problem. The present paper introduces a novel framework that mainly targets to achieve a computational effective resource management technique. ...
