METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MIGRATION OF CONTAINERS IN A CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION PLATFORM BETWEEN COMPUTE NODES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for migration of containers in a container orchestration platform, such as Kubernetes or Docker swarm, between compute nodes (CN) of a seamless computing platform (SCP) present in different computing domains. The state of the compute nodes (CN) of the seamless computing platform (SCP) is continuously monitored. On determining a trigger, a container (CTG) to be moved from a current compute node (ON) to a target compute node (TN) of a number of compute nodes (CN) is identified. A container information (CI) of the container (CTG) to be moved is generated which comprises a container context and the current state of the container (CTG). The container information (CI) is used by the target node (TN) to retrieve the current state of the container (CTG) to be moved which enables restarting the container (CTG) on the target compute node (TN).
