Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for container storage migration are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes provisioning a copy-on-write union filesystem on the target host with (i) one or more network filesystem-mounted directories from the source host set to read-only and (ii) at least one directory set to read-write; identifying one or more files that have been (i) updated by a given container and (ii) copied over by the copy-on-write union filesystem; removing the one or more identified files from a directory path on the target host; copying, from the source host into the directory path on the target host, each of one or more files that have not been updated by the given container; merging the copy-on-write union filesystem and the directory path on the target host; and initiating the given container on the target host based on the merging.
