Hotspot Mitigation for Virtual Machine Migration

In this lecture, we will discuss hot spot mitigation techniques to automate the task of monitoring and detecting hotspots by determining a new mapping of physical to virtual resources and initiating the necessary migrations.

We will discuss a black-box approach that is fully OS- and application-agnostic and a gray-box approach that exploits OS- and application-level statistics.
