Vmshadow: Optimizing the performance of virtual desktops in distributed clouds
Proceedings of the 4th annual Symposium on Cloud Computing, 2013•dl.acm.org
We present VMShadow, a system that automatically optimizes the location and performance
of applications based on their dynamic workloads. We prototype VMShadow and
demonstrate its efficacy using VM-based desktops in the cloud as an example application.
Our experiments on a private cloud as well as the EC2 cloud, using a nested hypervisor,
show that VMShadow is able to discriminate between location-sensitive and location-
insensitive desktop VMs and judiciously moves only those that will benefit the most from the …

We prototype VMShadow and demonstrate its efficacy using VM-based desktops in the cloud as an example application. Our experiments on a private cloud as well as the EC2 cloud, using a nested hypervisor, show that VMShadow is able to discriminate between location-sensitive and location-insensitive desktop VMs and judiciously moves only those that will benefit the most from the migration. For example, VMShadow performs transcontinental VM migrations in ~ 4 mins and can improve VNC's video refresh rate by up to 90%.
