PRIORITIZING MIGRATION OF DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A STATEFUL APPLICATION BASED ON DATA ACCESS PATTERNS

摘要

Example implementations relate to migration of a stateful application from a source computing environment to a destination virtualized computing environment by prioritizing migration of data of the application based on a priority map created based on data usage patterns. An instance of the application is installed within the destination environment. The priority map includes priorities for chunks of the data based on historical data access patterns. The data is migrated from a source volume of the source environment to a destination volume of the destination environment on a chunk-by-chunk basis by performing a background data migration process based on the priority map. Usage of the application concurrent with the data migration process is facilitated by abstracting a location of data being operated upon by the application by maintaining migration status for the chunks. The priority map is periodically updated based on observed data access patterns post application migration.
