User Triggered Virtual Machine Cloning for Recovery/Availability/Scaling - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17737305 titled 'User Triggered Virtual Machine Cloning for Recovery/Availability/Scaling
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for cloning virtual machines during live migration.
- Cloning involves creating new copies of a virtual machine while the original virtual machine remains operational.
- The new copies retain the processing state, memory state, and local storage state of the original virtual machine.
- Each new copy is distinguished from the others and the original by having different attributes.
- This approach allows for efficient and seamless migration of virtual machines without interrupting their operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
Generally disclosed herein is an approach for cloning virtual machines during live migration where one or more new copies of a virtual machine can be created while the original virtual machine continues to run. The new copies can preserve a processing state, memory state, and local storage state. The new copies can also be distinguished from each other and the original by including different attributes for each copy.
