Description: In CloudSim, Virtual Machine (VM) migration is a process that involves moving a virtual machine from one physical host to another within the cloud infrastructure. This is essential for optimizing resource utilization, balancing loads, and ensuring high availability in cloud environments. The VM migration process helps to reduce downtime, prevent overloading of resources, and improve overall cloud system performance.
Example: Dynamic Resource Allocation: When resource usage exceeds a certain threshold, VMs may be migrated to another host with more available resources. Energy Saving: During times of low demand, non-essential VMs can be migrated to fewer hosts, shutting down unused hosts to save energy.
