Developed a comprehensive virtual machine migration system that enables seamless transfer of virtual machines between different cloud environments while maintaining data integrity and minimizing downtime.
The VM Migration System was developed as an academic project to address the growing need for efficient virtual machine migration in cloud computing environments. This system provides a robust solution for transferring VMs between different cloud platforms while ensuring data consistency and minimal service interruption.
The project involved designing and implementing a comprehensive migration framework that handles various aspects of VM migration including data transfer, state preservation, network configuration, and post-migration validation. The system supports both live and offline migration scenarios.
Through this project, I gained deep understanding of cloud computing concepts, virtualization technologies, and distributed systems design principles.
Analyzed the requirements for VM migration including data transfer protocols, state preservation mechanisms, and network configuration requirements to understand the complete migration workflow.
Designed a modular architecture that separates migration logic, data transfer mechanisms, and validation processes to ensure maintainability and scalability of the system.
Implemented the core migration engine using Python and virtualization APIs, creating robust data transfer mechanisms and state synchronization protocols.
Developed network configuration modules to handle IP address management, routing updates, and ensuring proper connectivity before and after migration.
Conducted comprehensive testing with various VM configurations and network scenarios to ensure reliable migration across different environments.
Optimized migration performance through parallel data transfer, compression techniques, and intelligent resource allocation to minimize migration time.
Built integration with multiple virtualization platforms using libvirt API, enabling support for various hypervisors including KVM, Xen, and VMware.
Implemented efficient data transfer protocols using block-level copying and incremental synchronization to minimize data transfer time and bandwidth usage.
Created a web-based management interface using Flask and React for monitoring migration progress, configuring migration parameters, and viewing migration history.
Ensuring data consistency during live migration while the VM continues to run and generate new data that needs to be synchronized between source and destination.
Managing network connectivity during migration, including IP address changes, routing updates, and ensuring minimal network disruption for the migrated VM.
