  1. VMFlock: VM Co-Migration Appliance for the Cloud • Samer Al-Kiswany • With: Dinesh Subhraveti • Prasenjit Sarkar • Matei Ripeanu

  2. Why VM Migration across Data Centers ? • For Cloud Users: • Freedom, Not locked to one cloud. • Private and public clouds. • For the Cloud provider: • Load balancing across data centers • Accommodate scheduled maintenance • Arbitration of energy cost Requires: Efficient migration and fast instantiation of VM still images across data centers.

  3. Challenges • Applications often deployed on multiple VMs (VM Flock) • Large VM image size (GBs) • Limited WAN bandwidth • Strict Cloud API • Limited resources • (compute, memory, IO)

  4. Opportunities • Similarities across VM flock images • Similarities across VM repositories • VM boot time access pattern

  5. VMFlock Migration System An appliance for migrating and bootstrapping multiple VM images across data centers. • Properties: • High performance • Scalable • Load balanced • Easy to adopt • VMFlockMS achieves (compared to alternatives): • Up to 10x better compression rate • Up to 3.5x faster migration time

  6. Outline • Introduction • VMFlockMS Design • Migration Appliance Design • VM Bootstrap component Design • Evaluation • Conclusion

  7. VMFlockMS Design • Migration components • Similarities across VM flock images • Similarities across VM repositories • Bootstrap components • VM boot pattern Source Destination Migration nodes Migration nodes VM VM VMProfiler VMLaunchPad VM Repository VM Repository

  8. Migration Components Design • Similarities across VM flock images • Similarities across VM repositories • Deduplication challenges: • CPU and IO intensive workload • Metadata size Source Destination Migration nodes Migration nodes VM Repository VM Repository

  14. Outline • Introduction • VMFlockMS Design • Migration Appliance Design • VM Bootstrap component Design • Evaluation • Conclusion

  15. Evaluation – Setup • Images • Application: Spree e-commerce (spree, sql, storage node) – 7.9 GB • Same-OS (Fedora: desktop, developer, server, plain) – 10.6 GB • Diff-OS (Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu) – 10.6 GB • Alternatives • Gzip-All • Gzip-Separate (parallel Gzip) • Dedup-separate [Hirofuchi 09, Bradford 07, Sapuntzakis 02]

  16. Evaluation – Setup • Testbed • 2 machines at Almaden and 2 at T.J. Watson • 1 machine at each side works as a VM repository Courtesy Google Maps

  17. Evaluation – Compression Rate No VM images at destination Single VM image at destination Achieves up to 10x better compression rate.

  18. Evaluation – Migration Time Migration time for the application flock VMFlockMS achieves up to 2x better migration time.

  19. Evaluation – Migration Time Migration time for the application flock using the VM repository emulator (emulating 4 SAS disks) VMFlockMS achieves up to 3.5x better migration time.

  20. Evaluation – Boot Time • VM Flock needs less then 20MB to boot. • Most of the data already at destination • VM flock boot in less than 1 min • VMFlockMS overhead less than 3%

  21. Summary VMFlockMS: An appliance for migrating and bootstrapping multiple VM images across data centers. • Properties: • High performance • Scalable • Load balanced • Easy to adopt • Where else: • Scientific data sets migration • Long execution pipelines

  22. Thank you
