OpenStack and its functionalities are evolving very fast. Since Kilo Release Nova has been working on live migration to improve performance, increase stability, implement new features and make user experience better. To make even more enhancements possible we have chosen live migration as a priority for Mitaka cycle.
In this presentation we will tell you what has changed since Kilo release in both, Nova and QEMU. While talking about changes we will show how you can configure your OpenStack environment to take advantage of new Live Migration features. To face up to everyone's needs, we will also cover how live migration works, what features are already there since Kilo and which common pitfalls you should avoid.
At the end of the presentation we will also give you an insight into current work in live migration and what improvements are planned in the future.
After this session, the attendees will learn what key features of live migration are there in the OpenStack Mitaka release and how to utilize them in their OpenStack environment. We want to make clear which are the correct configurations available at the moment which allow the live migration to work properly and which are the techniques that an operator can adopt to control, monitoring and force to complete a running live migration. This session will also be useful for developers who want to jump in live migration because we will cover how it works, current status of live migration work in Nova and future plans.
