Abstract

Embodiments relate to virtual machine (VM) migration via a mobile device. A method includes requesting, by a mobile device, a source computer to capture a state and memory contents of a VM executing on the source computer. The VM includes the state, the memory contents, and data. The state and memory contents of the VM are stored on the mobile device. Security information about a target computer is determined by the mobile device. A migration of the VM to the target computer is initiated by the mobile device. The initiating includes sending the stored state and memory contents of the VM from the mobile device to the target computer. An activation of the VM on the target computer is initiated and access is provided to at least a subset of the data of the VM. The subset is selected based on the security information.
