MIGRATION OF SERVICES OF INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT VIRTUAL MACHINES TO CONTAINERS

Abstract:

Examples described herein may include migration of services of infrastructure management virtual machines to a container. An example method includes creating an infrastructure management virtual machine configured to manage and monitor a cluster of nodes of a computing system. The infrastructure management virtual machine including a plurality of services and an associated virtual disk storing data associated with running the plurality of services. The example method further includes extracting a service of the plurality of services running on the infrastructure management virtual machine, and creating a container on a controller virtual machine running on a node of a computing system. The container includes the extracted service. The example method further includes retrieving data associated with the extracted service from the virtual disk, and after retrieved the data, starting the extracted service in the container.
