Live Migration and Advanced LBaaS

John Garbutt, Rackspace - OpenStack in Motion: Live Migration

Live migration is a feature that many companies moving their applications into OpenStack clouds are requesting. Persuading enterprise customers to embrace OpenStack as their IaaS solution requires highly available VMs for their workloads. OpenStack developers insist that live migration is continuing to evolve with additional components being added and in turn, becoming more dependable. We, the Operations team inside the OpenStack Innovation Center, embraced the opportunity to test and demonstrate the high availability of virtual machines during live migration and provide feedback to the OpenStack community on areas that have opportunity to make further strides. Come join us in this session to see how we benchmarked live migration, our discoveries, projected next steps, and the ideal setup for your cloud to have an exceedingly available environment.
