Abstract
Container migration is provided. A comparison of a second image and a third image is performed to detect data changes made by write input/output operations occurring between a second timestamp and a third timestamp. It is determined whether a set of data changes exists in the third image that occurred between the second timestamp and the third timestamp. In response to determining that the set of data changes does exist in the third image that occurred between the second timestamp and the third timestamp, a copy of the set of data changes is sent to a second host node. The set of data changes are merged into the second host node. The write input/output operations are resumed to the second host node using previously queued write input/output operations and new incoming write input/output operations so that the second host node is processing read input/output operations and the write input/output operations.
