LinuxCon + CloudOpen Japan 2015

Live Migration is essential to deliver a seamless cloud user experience for both load balancing and rapid scaling. However, aggressive memory workloads can lead to long pauses, resulting in service outages, or require the Guest to significantly lower the CPU load.

This presentation covers the Linux Kernel KVM 'rapid migration' support implemented for ARM v7 and v8. Several new features enable migration of memory intensive Guests. This presentation will dive deep into the subtleties of live migration, Linux kernel KVM ARM32 and ARM64 MMU, dirty page logging/live migration, and QEMU support. In addition a newly designed test environment to validate live migration and eliminate latent faults will be presented

If you manage memory intensive guests and want to gain a solid understanding of Live Migration and the new ARM64 Linux Kernel KVM architecture, you must attend this talk.
