Phase 1: Experiment design Required hardware and software tools: Virtualbox: It is a virtualization software which allows multiple operating systems to be installed on it while running them together on the same physical hardware. Compare and contrast on performance of live migration techniques in private cloud environment with low resources? Dev-stack: It is an open source with a series of extensible scripts used in deploying an Open-stack environment. Superputty: It is a graphical user interface application which allows PUTTY ssh client to be opened in Tabs. PUTTY is an open-source terminal emulator but lacks a tabbed interface, therefore using Superputty will improve PUTTY installation. Wireshark: It is a packet analyzer tool. It is used for capturing network traffic on the running network and collects data for analysis. Solarwinds: It is a network performance tool used to monitor the VM host including CPU, memory utilization, number of configured running machines. Requirement for creating a Virtual machine on Virtualbox: Operating system for creating Virtual machine should be ubuntu server 18.04. Hardware resources should be as follows: 1. Processor: Minimum 2 cores 2. Memory: Minimum 8 GB 3. Hard Drive: Minimum 10GB Performance metrics The following will be considered as performance metric of Live migration Total migration time: Is the time taken to transfer a virtual machine at source to destination host without interfering with its availability. The unit to be considered for measurement is seconds.
