Abstract
A system and method for providing quality of service during live migration includes determining one or more quality of service (QoS) specifications for one or more virtual machines (VMs) to be live migrated. Based on the one or more QoS specifications, a QoS is applied to a live migration of the one or more VMs by controlling resources including at least one of live migration network characteristics and VM execution parameters.

A method for providing quality of service during live migration, comprising:
- determining one or more quality of service (QoS) specifications for one or more virtual machines (VMs) to be live migrated;
- and
- based on the one or more QoS specifications, applying, using a processor, a QoS to a live migration of the one or more VMs by controlling resources including at least one of live migration network characteristics and VM execution parameters.
A method for providing quality of service during live migration, comprising:
- determining one or more quality of service (QoS) specifications for one or more virtual machines (VMs) to be live migrated;
- and
- based on the one or more QoS specifications, applying, using a processor, a QoS to a live migration of the one or more VMs by controlling resources including at least one of live migration network characteristics and VM execution parameters, wherein controlling resources further includes utilizing at least one of multiple networks, multiple configurations of a same network, and multiple migration paths each having different levels of service.
A method for providing quality of service during live migration, comprising:
- determining one or more quality of service (QoS) specifications for one or more virtual machines (VMs) to be live migrated;
- and
- based on the one or more QoS specifications, applying, using a processor, a QoS to a live migration of the one or more VMs by controlling resources including at least one of live migration network characteristics and VM execution parameters, wherein controlling resources further includes regulating network bandwidth for the one or more VMs during the live migration.
