Abstract
Techniques for managing the migration of virtual machine instances are described herein. A migration of a virtual machine from a source host to a destination host is determined to be predicted to fail. The migration is cancelled by stopping the virtual machine at the destination host as a result of said determination.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining that a migration of a virtual machine instance from a source host to a destination host is predicted to fail;
- and
- as a result of said determining, cancelling the migration by stopping the virtual machine instance at the destination host.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory including computer-executable instructions that, as a result of execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- determine whether a migration of a virtual machine from a source host to a destination host is predicted to fail or succeed;
- and
- if the migration is predicted to fail, cancel the migration by causing the system to stop the virtual machine running at the destination host.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, as a result of execution by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:
- initiate a virtual machine migration to duplicate a virtual machine on a destination host;
- determine whether the virtual machine migration is predicted to fail;
- and
- on condition that the virtual machine migration is predicted to fail, cancel the virtual machine migration by causing the computer system to stop the second virtual machine.
