Container Service Migration

Description

Containers run at the user-space process over the Kernel and have better bandwidth and CPU performance as compared to VMs. The shared resource dynamic container migration approach, therefore, can be used to address deteriorating application QoS, arising from the processing latency (system load) and/or the network latency (user mobility).

This tutorial demonstrates how to accomplish service migrations using containers.

Prerequisites

In order to access the testbed, create a reservation, and have it approved by the reservation service. Access to the resources is granted after the reservation is confirmed.

Resources required

Three nodes are required to run this experiment.

Topology

The following topology is used in this experiment. The container is migrated from the source to the destination. The node information and the results can be collected from the console.
