Abstract:
Today, cloud computing is used as a model in most scientific, commercial, military, other fields. In this model, the main body of the system are virtual servers, which currently provide services to customers around the world. In these circumstances, since the servers are virtual, they can be transferred as a file from one machine to another, which is known as migration. Migration practice is done for a variety of purposes, including load balancing, fault tolerance, power management, reducing response time, increasing quality of service, and server maintenance. Because the use of this technique is highly dependent on cloud computing infrastructure architecture, in some cloud infrastructures, such as Eucalyptus, the virtual machine migration technique has not been used yet. In this paper, we propose a solution for VM migration technique on Eucalyptus Cloud environment. The experiments show the validity of the proposed solution in non-shared disk Cloud environments, where the total migration time and transferred data have been significantly increased.
