Abstract
A computer-implemented method for enabling migratory virtual machines to expedite access to resources may include (1) detecting a migration of a virtual machine from a physical computing system to a different physical computing system, (2) locating resource information within the virtual machine that identifies an access path to a resource of the physical computing system despite the migration of the virtual machine, (3) identifying a different access path to a corresponding resource of the different physical computing system, and then (4) modifying the resource information within the virtual machine to identify the different access path to the corresponding resource in order to expedite resource access by enabling the virtual machine to access the corresponding resource via the different access path instead of accessing the resource via the access path. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
