“…Shadow Paging (Dynamic page migration) is a transition technique whereby a page is transmitted through the use of the physical memory space of a shadow page [1]. For the performance of a migration (the service runs on a virtual server), the information of the changed pages needs to be saved in the shadow page before the transferal to a newly allocated space can occur; therefore, this technique makes it possible to prevent service failure.…”

“…Cloud computing is tailored to the needs of the user, and its services are provided regardless of the location of the user and the devices that are used. The specifications that are required by a user or a corporation can be attained via WAN or Internet, in a home or office, in cafes, or on public transport; that is, you can use the service from any location [1].…”

“…Regarding PaaS and SaaS, a computing environment must be provided for the user because the provision of hardware is too expensive in these cases; therefore, server visualization is used to reduce the cost [4]. Visualization involves the installation of a virtual machine monitor as systemic software that manages the virtualized operating systems on a single hardware unit, thereby supporting the virtual machine that is provided to the user, and the software is in the desired form for the installation of an operating system [1]. In terms of cloud computing, virtualization can be considered an application of the operating system.…”

Cloud Computing shares computing resources to execute application. Cloud systems provide high-specification resources in the form of services, leading to the provision of user convenience and greater ease for personal-computer users; however, expansions of the cloudsystem service necessitate a corresponding enhancement of the technology that is used for server-resource management. In this paper, by monitoring the resources of a cloud server, we sought to identify the causes of server overload and degradation, followed by the running of a dynamic-page-migration mechanism.According to this process, we designed the proposed migration architecture for the minimization of user inconvenience.

Abstract-Virtualization is a core technology used for the implementation of cloud computing. It increases the utilization of resources such as processor, storage, network etc. by collecting various underutilized resources available in the form of a shared pool of resources built through the creation of Virtual Machines (VMs).The requirements in cloud environment are dynamic therefore there is always a need to move virtual machines within the same cloud or amongst different clouds. This is achieved through migration of VMs which results in several benefits such as saving energy of the host, managing fault tolerance if some host is not working properly and load balancing among all hosts. In this experimental study, effort has been made to analyze the performance of offline and live VM migration techniques with respect to total migration time and downtime of VM migration.Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor has been used for virtualization and a series of experiments have been carried out in computer service center of IIT Delhi on their private cloud Baadal. The experiment results show that downtime during live migration is very less in comparison to the offline migration while the total migration time is more in comparison to the offline migration.

“…Clark et al proposed a live VM migration mechanism named pre-copy migration, which first transfers the memory state and then the CPU state. [8] There are two phases in Precopy approach [9][10] namely the Warm-up phase and Stopand-Copy phase. In the Warm-up phase, the hypervisor copies all the memory pages from source to destination, while the VM is still running on the source.…”

Migration of virtual machine is one of the most important features in virtual machine technology .It involves moving a VM from a physical host to another, facilitating balancing load, utilization of resource and reducing energy consumption. The goal of this paper is to present a survey of the main types of virtual machine live migration, their classifications and a comparative study of these techniques in a particular class. It also discusses the algorithms used in virtual machine migration.
