VM$$^3$$: Virtual Machine Multicast Migration Based on Comprehensive Load Forecasting

Although Virtual Machine (VM) is a fundamental technique for Cloud Operation System (Cloud OS), lack of task model and dynamic usability evaluation are great challenges in VM migration. Hence, this paper proposes a VM multicast migration based on comprehensive load forecasting mechanism named VM\(^3\). In this paper, we design a VM placement algorithm based on comprehensive load forecasting, which provides an accurate selection of destination host according to the comprehensive network performance including bandwidth, latency, etc., while only the computing node offloading is considered in the tradition algorithms. Furthermore, we propose a multicast migration mechanism to reduce the computation before migration, and support parallel migration. Through implements and experiments it proves that VM\(^3\) improves the accuracy and efficiency of VM cluster migration, and it is practical and widely applicable.
