Abstract
Generally disclosed herein is an approach for cloning virtual machines during live migration where one or more new copies of a virtual machine can be created while the original virtual machine continues to run. The new copies can preserve a processing state, memory state, and local storage state. The new copies can also be distinguished from each other and the original by including different attributes for each copy.
