live migration
Uninterrupted workload transfer
Live migration is the process of moving a running virtual machine or application from one physical server to another without shutting it down or interrupting service.
The workload continues operating during transfer, with users typically unaware anything happened.
Data centers use live migration for load balancing, hardware maintenance, and disaster recovery: We performed a live migration to take the old server offline for repairs.
