We are now in Melbourne, Australia to join the CCGrid 2010 conference. Takahiro Hirofuchi gives you a presentation about "Enabling Instantaneous Relocation of Virtual Machines with a Lightweight VMM Extension", and we also prepare demonstrations for the poster & demonstration session of the conference.

Update: We won the best demonstration award!

A running VM is being migrated to a new host by our instantaneous live migration mechanism. The execution host of the VM is switched just in one second!




By using the original live migration mechanism of KVM, it takes long time to switch the execution host.



Let's compare both the live migration mechanisms.
