Abstract

Stateful migration processes for Cloud Services require the knowledge about their influencing parameters for the migration decision. Previous work focuses on the placement after the migration but not the migration process. In this work we evaluate the impact of network parameters on the migration performance as well as on the migrated applications. Therefore we propose an automatically set up testbed using OpenStack to measure key characteristics of the migration process.
