Optimizing Live-Migration for Minimizing Packet Loss With KubeVirt and...

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Reports a concrete fix for VM live-migration packet loss using KubeVirt + Kube-Ovn and OVN/Neutron internals: adds launcher-port annotations and port informers in kube-controller to drive OVN multi‑chase behavior, uses IRP packets to trigger OVN port activation, and coordinates migration state between controllers. Achieves 0.5 seconds with VMI and less than 0.1s with VPC packet‑loss windows, passes third‑party tests, and surfaces code and issue links for reproduction.
