Test live-migrate pod:

• Run/check video-stream application:

$ cd podmigration-operator/config/samples/migration-example
$ kubectl apply -f 2.yaml
$ kubectl get pods

There are three options to live-migrate a running Pod as following:

1. Live-migrate video-stream application via api-server:

$ curl --request POST 'localhost:5000/Podmigrations' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"name":"test1", "replicas":1, "action":"live-migration", "sourcePod":"video", "destHost":"worker1"}'
$ curl --request GET 'localhost:5000/Podmigrations'

2. Live-migrate video-stream application via kubectl apply:

$ kubectl apply -f test2.yaml

3. Live-migrate video-stream application via kubectl migrate command:

• Note: As default, K8S doesn't have kubectl migrate and kubectl checkpoint command. To use this extended kubectl plugin please check the guide at https://github.com/SSU-DCN/podmigration-operator/tree/main/kubectl-plugin

$ kubectl migrate video worker1

• To delete:

$ kubectl delete podmigration test2
$ kubectl delete -f test2.yaml

Note

This operator is controller of Kuberntes Pod migration for Kubernetes. It needs several changes to work such as: kubelet, container-runtime-cri (containerd-cri). The modified vesions of Kuberntes and containerd-cri beside this operator can be found in the following repos:
