In openstack, it is possible to migrate a vm. I would like to know if it is also possible to replicate a vm with its current state. If it is not, can we manipulate the migration code in such a way that a VM can be replicated instead of being migrated? I appreciate any suggestion, recommendation, sharing experiences, etc.
It is possible to migrate a VM. You can also 'clone' a VM by creating a snapshot of the instance to be 'cloned' and creating a new instance from that snapshot image.
Snapshotting vm state is for virtualization platforms like vsphere, ovirt. ... not for cloud platforms like openstack
Yes it is. I just wanna orchestrate replication with the Openstack, exactly the same as migration in Openstack. VM migration is also for visualization platforms, but we have it in Openstack. In fact, openstack orchestrates migration while the main task is done by the hypervisor & virtualization APIs
