Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating the migration of one or more virtual machines from a source computing system to a target computing system comprise an architecture with a memory pool. The memory pool is accessible by both the source computing system and the target computing system. Using this architecture, a first virtual machine instance running on the source computing system, and having virtual memory stored in the memory pool, can be migrated to the target computing system without the need to copy virtual memory between the computing systems. Migration includes copying state information about the first virtual machine instance to the target computing system. Then, a second virtual machine instance can be started on the target computing system, where the second virtual machine instance uses the virtual memory stored in the memory pool.
