A survey of migration mechanisms of virtual machines

TLDR
A survey of migration mechanisms developed to provide high availability inside virtualized environments is reported and these approaches are classified in three main classes: process migration, memory migration, and suspend/resume migration.
Abstract
In the virtualization area, replication has been considered as a mechanism to provide high availability. A high-availability system should be active most of the time, and this is the reason that its design should consider almost zero downtime and a minimal human intervention if a recovery process is demanded. Several migration and replication mechanisms have been developed to provide high availability inside virtualized environments. In this article, a survey of migration mechanisms is reported. These approaches are classified in three main classes: process migration, memory migration, and suspend/resume migration.

From Cloud to Fog Computing: A Review and a Conceptual Live VM Migration Framework

TL;DR: A conceptual smart pre-copy live migration approach is presented for VM migration that can estimate the downtime after each iteration to determine whether to proceed to the stop-and-copy stage during a system failure or an attack on a fog computing node.
