Migrate instances

Available since MOSK 24.3

MOSK provides the capability to perform instance migrations for the non-administrative users of the OpenStack cloud.

Consult your cloud administrator to ensure this functionality is available to you. If it is, you may have access to cold migration, live migration, or both. Refer to Instance migration to learn more about these migration types in MOSK.

If migration is available to you as a non-administrative user, it is, by default, a completely scheduler-controlled type of migration. As a user, you do not have the option to select the target host for your instance. Instead, the Compute service scheduler automatically selects the best-suited target host, if one is available.

To perform migrations, you can use any preferred method, including direct API interactions, CLI tools (the openstack client), or the OpenStack Dashboard service.
