Hey There,

Does Docker intend to provide a live migration for containers from host to host ? just like VMware provides live migration “vmotion” ?

Thanks,

An alternative is to commit the container to an image with docker commit, move the image onto a new host, and then start a new container with docker run, which will preserve any data that an application has created inside the container.

Another option is to use Flocker.
