Performance analysis of “post-copy” live migration in Openstack

Previously we described how to set up post-copy live migration in OpenStack Icehouse (and it should not be a problem to set it up in the same way in Juno). Naturally, we were curious to see how it performs. In this blog post we focus on performance analysis of post-copy live migration in Openstack Icehouse […]
