What if Kubernetes could move a running container to another node without a single second of downtime? In this session, we’ll dive into Container Live Migration—a game-changing capability that brings a new level of availability to your workloads. Say goodbye to disruption from Spot instance terminations, node pressure, or scaling events—even for apps with long startup times like Java services, long-running jobs, or stateful workloads.

We’ll explore how live migration works under the hood, why it’s a powerful cost-saving tool for intelligent bin-packing, and show it all in action with a live demo.
