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 compu- ting 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 com- pute nodes (CN) is identified. A container information (CI) of the container (CTG) to be moved is generated which com- prises a container context and the current state of the con- tainer (CTG). The container information (CI) is used by the target node (TN) to retrieve the current state of the con- tainer (CTG) to be moved which enables restarting the con- tainer (CTG) on the target compute node (TN).
