VM migration measurement and failure detection

This paper tackles migration of virtual machines, and the migration reliability. The migration is seen as a reliable operation, but this assumption is not true and almost no work on this topic has been published. In order to quantify the migration successful rate, we designed and implemented framework for autonomous migration evaluation, network availability testing, and reporting. This framework is introduced in this paper and its configuration is described. This framework is very unique because of its modular architecture and orchestration independence. We use this framework in order to quantify the migration successful rate, so we prepare statistically reliable test. Based on this test we formulated a mathematical hypothesis and we found that only 87% of migrations successfully finish. This is very low value which is very alarming because the experiment was carried out on the testbed which is based on the most recent technologies.
