Abstract
The current document is directed to methods and systems that carry out live migration of multi-node applications in distributed-computing systems, including cloud-computing applications in cloud-computing facilities. The disclosed methods and systems employ an installer/agent and a data-transformation component to install new versions of a multi-node application within a distributed computing system and to then warm start each application-provided service within the newly installed new-version application nodes. Following a data sync operation, each warm-started application service is brought online to service subsequently received service requests as older-version corresponding services of current application nodes complete request services and terminate, providing live migration from an older version multi-node application to a new-version multi-node application without service-provision interruption.
