Live Migration of Running VMs on Apache CloudStack with Lightbits Block Storage

Video

Move running VMs between CloudStack hosts without stopping the application. In this demo, an application server with its root disk on a Lightbits NVMe/TCP volume keeps streaming while CloudStack live-migrates it to another host. A live status panel and an instant replay show the switch-over, and both the CloudStack UI and the Lightbits CLI confirm that the same volume is now served to the new host.

The video ends with a real-life scenario: emptying a host for maintenance, with CloudStack moving its VMs away while Lightbits storage stays shared across all hosts.
