METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION DECISION

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a system for making a decision about virtual machine migration are provided. The system includes a source host platform of a virtual machine to be migrated, configured to send a migration request to a Migration Authority (MA), and migrate the virtual machine to be migrated to a target host platform according to a received migration decision-making result; the MA, configured to perform security checks on the source host platform and the target host platform according to the migration request, to obtain a first evaluation result of the source host platform and a second evaluation result of the target host platform, acquire a third evaluation result of the virtual machine to be migrated, and return a corresponding migration decision-making result to the source host platform according to the first evaluation result, the second evaluation result, and the third evaluation result; and the target host platform of the virtual machine to be migrated, configured to accept the virtual machine to be migrated. Therefore, not only the security of the virtual machine after migration to the target platform, but also the security of the target platform after accepting the virtual machine is ensured.
