Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for managing a load balancer bypass between two virtual machines through live migration of at least one of the virtual machines. In one aspect, a load balancer bypass may be established between a source virtual machine associated with a source host and a destination virtual machine associated with a destination host. The source virtual machine identification information, source host identification information, destination virtual machine identification information, and destination host identification information may be associated with an indication of whether the bypass is active, for example, in a bypass data structure. Upon a determination that live migration of at least one of the source virtual machine or the destination virtual machine has been completed to a third host, the bypass data structure may be updated with identification information of the third host to maintain the load balancer bypass after completion of the live migration.
