“…The approaches, discuss (i) the replacement of existing data center architecture with layer 3 routs to overcome the disadvantages of layer 2 routes [15] and (ii) the creation of layer 2 networks over various data centers by the extension of layer 2 technologies, e.g., layer2 VPN [16] and OTV [17]. Mobile IP [10] [18] discuss the requirement of new IP addresses after migration.…”

“…However, Mann et al [8] present a new approach to combine the advantages of layer2, and layer3 to address the triangular routing problem. The Openflow based systems [17] [19] resolve issues related to living VM migration over data centers. In the above discussion, researchers address the problem of VM migration across data centers from diverse aspects.…”

Virtual machine migration (VMM) is one of important services is used as a tool to facilitate system maintenance, load balancing, fault tolerance, on-demand service offerings. Live VMM transfers an active Virtual Machine (VM) from one physical host to another across different data centres. It involves a sequence of operations in iteration under a specific protocol/method for migrating execution context (active memory) and control data of a VM to the destination machine. These operations are dependent on data transfer schedule, availability of resources and overall timing constraints. The migration process is implemented by establishing shared network storage and/or a network communication channel. Along with the execution context the security configuration of the VM need to be transferred. In this paper we have proposed a security context migration framework. Both the static as well as dynamic security context is considered for migration.

Recently, a number of research initiatives [17], [16], [18] have investigated VM migration based on SDN and OpenFlow.

Virtual machine migration is an essential capability that supports cloud service elasticity. However, there is a big concern on what happens to the security policy associated with the migrated machine. Recently, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has gained momentum in both research and industry. It has shown great potential to be used in cloud data centers, particularly for inter-domains migration of virtual machines. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, to be deployed in an SDN environment that coordinates the mobility of the associated security policy along with the migrated virtual machine. We implemented our framework into a prototype application, called MigApp that runs on top of SDN controllers. Our application interacts with the virtual machine monitor and other instances of MigApp through messaging system to achieve security migration. In order to evaluate our framework, we integrate our application with the Floodlight controller and use it with a simulation environment.
