The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing live migrations of software containers may include (i) identifying a request to migrate a software container from a source computing system to a target computing system while a process executes within the software container, (ii) creating a checkpoint of the process in execution (iii) transferring the checkpoint to the target computing system, (iv) updating the checkpoint recurrently by recurrently creating an incremental checkpoint of the process and merging the incremental checkpoint into the checkpoint, (v) predicting, before updating the checkpoint with an iteration of the incremental checkpoint and based on a size of the iteration of the incremental checkpoint, that finalizing a migration of the software container to the target computing system would meet a predetermined time objective, and (vi) finalizing the migration of the software container to the target computing system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
