Open Stack

The better way to accomplish a "live" migration in the cloud isn't to rely
on your hypervisor or moving VM images, but to use configuration management
(Chef, Puppet, Salt, Ansible, home grown, etc) to deploy a fresh
configuration and deployment of your app in the new environment, sync the
data, change the DNS, and then turn off the deployment in the zone. Much
the same way folks embracing devops would move from dev to test, or from
staging to production. That way your app becomes truly portable and much
more 'cloudy'... the more you can abstract how you manage your app from the
underlying infrastructure, the happier you'll be long term in a cloud
environment.

Hope that helps!
