Abstract
Virtual machine (VM) live migration occurs frequently in cloud environments. When it is necessary to migrate many VMs, minimizing the migration time is an important concern. Thus, choosing an appropriate strategy to perform VM migration is essential. Accordingly, this paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of four different migration methods and evaluates their respective migration times and throughputs.
