FluidCloud: An Open Framework for Relocation of Cloud Services
summary
FluidCloud is an open framework that claims to enable relocation of service instances between clouds by orchestrating a pipeline of components: cloud conduit, broker and viaduct and migrators. The PoC moves a VM plus block and object data from OpenStack to SmartOS in roughly 10 minutes using dd+netcat for images, sftp for volumes and regex-based reconfiguration; migration is fully automated but migrators are hard-coded, SSH-based introspection is required, data transfer dominates, and PaaS and network/state support remain future work.
