Abstract
Migrating containers between host nodes is provided. An indication is received that a checkpointed state of a container running an application providing at least one of a set of critical services or a set of non-critical services was transferred from a source host node to a target host node. In response to receiving the indication, a migration helper located on the target host node is directed to restore and run the container running the application providing the at least one of the set of critical services or the set of non-critical services on the target host node without interruption of the set of critical services based on the checkpointed state of the container transferred from the source host node and an internal IP address of the container that did not change during migration to the target host node.
