    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for post data synchronization in live migration of domains. Host devices on a network may implement virtual machines (VMs) as domains in an execution environment, and may provide local persistent storage for data of the VMs. A migration technique for moving a domain including the persistent data from one host device to another host device is described in which the VM is instantiated on the target device, and the domain is switched to the target device. Synchronization of the VM's data from the persistent storage on the source device to the target device is then initiated, for example according to a distributed replicated storage technique that makes the target device's persistent storage the primary storage and the source device's persistent storage the secondary storage for the VM. Once the data is synchronized, the VM and its respective storage on the source device are released.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for live migrating virtualized resources between the main region and edge locations. Live migration enables virtualized resources to remain operational during migration. Edge locations are typically separated from secure data centers via the Internet, a direct connection, or some other intermediate network. Accordingly, to place virtualized resources within an edge location, the virtualized resources must be migrated over a secure communication tunnel that can protect virtualized resource data during transmission over the intermediate network. The secure communication tunnel may have limited data throughput. To efficiently utilize resources of the secure communication tunnel, virtualized resource data may be transferred over the tunnel in a two-stage process. The disclosed technology provides various techniques for dynamically selecting which virtualized resource data, and how much virtualized resource data, is transferred over each of the pre-copy and post-copy stages.

    Abstract: Techniques for a device with NUMA a memory architecture to migrate virtual resources between NUMA nodes to reduce resource contention between virtual resources running on the NUMA nodes. In some examples, the device monitors various metrics and/or operations of the NUMA nodes and/or virtual resources, and detect events that indicate that virtual resources running on a same NUMA node are contending, or are likely to contend, for computing resources of the NUMA node. Upon detecting such an event, the device may migrate a virtual resource from the NUMA node to another NUMA node on the device that has an availability of computing resources. The device may then migrate the virtual resource from the overcommitted NUMA node onto the NUMA node that has availability to run the virtual resource. In this way, devices may reduce resource contention among virtual resources running on a same NUMA node.
