live migration

Live migration is a key capability in Microsoft Azure that allows virtual machines to move between physical hosts without a full restart, preserving uptime during platform maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. The tagged content focuses on Azure Confidential Live Migration, which extends this feature to confidential VMs, maintaining attestation, encrypted transfer, and isolation guarantees. This development is significant for regulated enterprises and security-sensitive cloud workloads, as it reduces the trade-off between operational flexibility and data protection. The discussion highlights how live migration enables protected VM moves while keeping isolation intact, making confidential computing more practical for production environments.
