Abstract
A method for an assisted live migration of virtual machines is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an assist request for assisting in a migration of a virtual machine, wherein the assist request includes at least a comfort load level; determining a current load of the virtual machine to be migrated; comparing the current load to the comfort load level; reducing a load on the virtual machine to be migrated until the current load is lower than the comfort load level; and initiating a live migration of the virtual machine to be migrated when the current load is lower than the comfort load level.
