Title
TwinPorter - An Architecture For Enabling the Live Migration of VMI-Based Monitored Virtual Machines
Abstract
Virtual machine introspection has evolved into a valuable tool for several purposes such as incident analysis and intrusion detection. In addition to that, there has been a lot of work that aims at enabling cloud tenants to do VMI on their virtual machines in IaaS-based clouds. Migration can be a required operation in cloud environments, for example, to keep service level agreements or to minimize power consumption. Common tools for migration of virtual machines do not provide support for coordinating VMI-based monitoring with migration. TwinPorter introduces a mechanism that migrates in parallel both the analyzing system and the analyzed system to the same target host. It ensures that the analyzed virtual machine never runs without being actively monitored and keeps the downtime of the analyzed system minimal by extending the live pre-copy based migration protocol of Xen. In our TwinPorter prototype, we measured an additional downtime of about 2 s of the monitored system during migration.
