Inderjit Singh Dhanoa, Sawtantar Singh Khurmi · 2014
Cloud computing services will play an important role to meet various requirements of the clients in daily lives. In cloud computing, virtualization is an important issue to minimize cost incurred to manage data centers across the world. The energy consumption has become the reason for higher cost in operating data centers. Savings can be achieved by continuous consolidation with live migration of VMs depending upon the utilization of the resources, virtual network topologies and thermal state of computing nodes. This paper presents a review of research work done by researchers based on energy-aware Virtual Machine live migration from one host to another in cloud data centers and highlighting its key concepts with research challenges.
