Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for moving a container-based application from a source HCl cluster to a target HCl cluster. An HCl storage cluster data replication mechanism operates to copy data and metadata from a plurality of storage devices that constitute a storage pool of the source HCl cluster. A container-based application replication mechanism operates to copy data and metadata from an executable container that is running on a node of the source HCl cluster. Periodically (1) the state of the container-based application is saved using the container-based application replication mechanism, and (2) the state of the storage cluster data of the HCl storage cluster is saved using the HCl storage cluster data replication mechanism. The saved state of the container-based application including its application data and metadata are combined with the saved state of the storage cluster data to bring-up the container-based application at the target HCl cluster.
