Cloud computing is an effective technology in handling computation with dynamically scalable resources. With the growth of multimedia applications, mobile applications have become resource-intensive. To provide better connectivity with the cloud, cloudlets have been introduced, which in turns provide low latency and high bandwidth. In this paper, we discuss the live migration of Virtual machines in Cloudlets using VirtualBox as hypervisor. We have proposed and implemented a distributed API Viper particularly for cloudlets, which provides users, interfaces for operating with Virtual Machines. We also test this API in different scenarios, changing RAM, CPU and CPU Stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
