Abstract
Datacenter clusters often employ live virtual machine (VM) migration to efficiently utilize cluster-wide resources. Gang migration refers to the simultaneous live migration of multiple VMs from one set of physical machines to another in response to events such as load spikes and imminent failures. Gang migration generates a large volume of network traffic and can overload the core network links and switches in a data center. The present technology reduces the network overhead of gang migration using global deduplication (GMGD). GMGD identifies and eliminates the retransmission of duplicate memory pages among VMs running on multiple physical machines in the cluster. A prototype GMGD reduces the network traffic on core links by up to 51% and the total migration time of VMs by up to 39% when compared to the default migration technique in QEMU/KVM, with reduced adverse performance impact on network-bound applications.
