Everything about Live migration

Live migration, also called migration, refers to the process of moving a running virtual machine (VM) between different physical machines in a manner that the VM and applications running within the VM are mostly unaffected. Memory, storage, and network connectivity of the virtual machine are transferred from the original host machine to the destination. The time between stopping the VM or application on the source and resuming it on destination is called "downtime" or "blackout". Wikipedia →
