Abstract
This application describes a system and techniques for managing the replication, migration, or backing up of virtual machines (VM) operating on a computing device. The techniques include managing real time or near real replication or migration of VM operations logs between computing devices. The operations logs include information or data that would enable another VM to function or operate in the same manner as the VM that generated the operations logs. Techniques are presented herein to insure the replication or migration process of VMs is not open ended or indefinite. For example, the write rate of the source operations log is managed to insure the replication or migration of the source operations log to destination device terminates within a reasonable amount of time.
