Description
Lab 3: Live Migration
- After practicing some basic scripts, you shall obtain some basic senses on control the environment using your code
- Now it is time to do super cool, or as French would say, suber cool, things
- Migrating docker images and doing it lively
Goal for Lab 3
- Objectives:
- Understanding the basic techniques for VM migration
- Using docker container as an example to test your migration skill
- Understanding the concept of checkpoint and restore
- Successfully migrate your image from one host to another
- Writing a decent report
To Start
- Learn to do live migration in docker
- Using Checkpoint and Restore (CRIU) tool in docker to do this job
- https://criu.org/Live_migration is your source to check
- Ask one of our friend/roommate and migrate your Golang job (with your ID or name) to his/her place
- Measure the duration of migration and collect all other runtime statistics
Hints and Remarks
- It is a fairly easy experiment to test, thus please do your best to finish on your own
- DO NOT copy others’ words since it will not work anyway
- If I found out duplicated submission from two individuals, you may guess what would happen
- CRIU tool is your best way to make it happen or you may implement your own code to do it
- More information can be found in docker-engine maillist and GitHub issues
