Abstract
The technologies described herein are generally directed toward migrating a function between virtual machines. In an embodiment, a method can include identifying a cluster for scaling, deployed using a first node device of a set of node devices supporting the cluster, wherein the first node device has a first virtual machine deployed thereon to support a function of functions of the cluster. The method can further include, based on a scaling specification, deploying, by the system, a second virtual machine on a second node device. Finally, the method can include, based on the scaling specification, migrating, by the system, the function, from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine.
