An Innovative Approach for Cloud-Based Web Dev App Migration

Abstract

In computing, process management is a key challenge where the process is shifted from one node to another. In the distributed computing architecture, this is an important activity as all the running processes are managed and distributed among available resources. Hence, resource utilization will be done efficiently. Like in multicore machines, process migration happens based on schedule, and it is normally done since the migration happens within a system. In this paper, we aim to implement the process migration in a distributed system using CRIU and DMTCP, and also, we compare the efficiency of process migration based on time. Process migration is a mechanism of transferring a process's state from one system to another for the process to execute on the target system. Checkpoint and restart are multiplatform techniques for increasing performance. It is mainly used in Linux-based operating system. Using the concept of checkpoint-restart in userspace (CRIU), many running processes will be migrated. To indicate the state of the art in checkpoint-restart, we surveyed existing implementations. This paper presents the results of this survey and understanding the migration concept for our further works.
