A key aspect of the cloud is its flexibility and abstraction of the underlying hardware. Historically, virtual machines have been the backbone of the cloud industry, allowing cloud providers to offer virtualized multi-tenant solutions. Today, virtualization by lightweight process containers continue to increase in popularity and make up a larger portion of the cloud, often replacing virtual machines, especially in fog and edge computing. Virtualization can enhance flexibility by enabling support for live migration and failover. Live migration is the process of moving a running instance of a virtual machine or container from one host to another and failover ensures that failures will be automatically detected and the instance restarted, possibly on another host.This paper presents an overview of current migration techniques, and metrics that can be used for comparison. We also present a proof-of-concept implementation and description of a system that enables support for both live migration and failover for containers by extending current container migration techniques. It is able to offer this to any OCI-compliant container, and could therefore potentially be integrated into current container frameworks. In addition, measurements are provided and used to compare the proof-of-concept implementation to the pre-copy migration technique. We achieve a downtime equal to, and total migration time lower than that of pre-copy migration at the cost of an increased amount of data needed to be transferred.
