Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for transferring hosted web browser sessions between browser servers are described herein. In various embodiments, a broker service may create a browser server pool from a plurality of browser servers. The broker service may connect a client agent with a first web browser session in a first browser server in the browser server pool. The broker service, responsive to a determination that the first web browser session needs to be transferred to a second browser server in the browser server pool, may request and receive a session context from the first web browser session, launch a second web browser session in the second browser server, initialize the second web browser session with the session context from the first web browser session, transfer the client agent from the first web browser session to the second web browser session, and terminate the first web browser session.
