Development in Information Technology led to the increasing necessity of computing and storage. Cloud services is one of the technologies with huge demand and hence involves more computing resources and storage. Consequently, the energy consumption by the cloud is also increasing. Cloud data centers consume large amount of energy and there by discharging carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Dynamic efforts are put in to this research to minimize the energy consumption of data centers. This work recommends a technique for energy efficient resource management. Prior techniques do not emphasis on the variations of workloads and deficient in probing the effect of algorithms on performance. Virtual machine configuration also plays a crucial role for reducing energy consumption and resource wastage but is not given much importance. To address these weaknesses, this work recommends a novel method to map groups of tasks to customized virtual machine types. Virtual machine migration is done to stabilize the load by manipulating the load using MIPS, RAM and Bandwidth.

Virtualization techniques effectively handle the growing demand for computing, storage, and communication resources in large-scale Cloud Data Centers (CDC). It helps to achieve different resource management objectives like load balancing, online system maintenance, proactive fault tolerance, power management, and resource sharing through Virtual Machine (VM) migration. VM migration is a resource-intensive procedure as VM's continuously demand appropriate CPU cycles, cache memory, memory capacity, and communication bandwidth. Therefore, this process degrades the performance of running applications and adversely affects efficiency of the data centers, particularly when Service Level Agreements (SLA) and critical business objectives are to be met. Live VM migration is frequently used because it allows the availability of application service, while migration is performed. In this paper, we make an exhaustive survey of the literature on live VM migration and analyze the various proposed mechanisms. We first classify the types of Live VM migration (single, multiple and hybrid). Next, we categorize VM migration techniques based on duplication mechanisms (replication, de-duplication, redundancy, and compression) and awareness of context (dependency, soft page, dirty page, and page fault) and evaluate the various Live VM migration techniques. We discuss various performance metrics like application service downtime, total migration time and amount of data transferred. CPU, memory and storage data is transferred during the process of VM migration and we identify the category of data that needs to be transferred in each case. We present a brief discussion on security threats in live VM migration and categories them in three different classes (control plane, data plane, and migration module). We also explain the security requirements and existing solutions to mitigate possible attacks. Specific gaps are identified and the research challenges in improving the performance of live VM migration are highlighted. The significance of this work is that it presents the background of live VM migration techniques and an in depth review which will be helpful for cloud professionals and researchers to further explore the challenges and provide optimal solutions.

“…This transfer is so that the process of communication with other processes or process service does not stop. In traditional systems, if the migration time of the virtual machine containing the process from the source to the destination is negligible compared to the transfer time of the process without the virtual machine, then the migration of virtual machine-based processes in the sentence will be a live migration (Noshy, M., Ibrahim, A., & Ali, H. A., 2018;Singh, G., & Gupta, P., 2016, September).…”

Virtual machine-based process migrator mechanisms have the potential to be used in distributed exascale systems due to their ability to execute process execution and support environments with the heterogenous of the computational unit. The ability to reduce process suspension time and use the concept of live process migrator makes it possible to use this mechanism to transfer processes in distributed exascale systems to prevent related process activity failure. The performance function of a virtual machine-based process migrator mechanism cannot manage dynamic and interactive events and the effects of this event on the mechanism operation and the change in the basic concept of system activity from the concept of the process to the concept of global activity. This paper examines the challenges of dynamic and interactive event occurrence on virtual machine-based process migrators by analyzing VM-based migrator's performance function
