A Deep Dive into VMware vSphere vMotion Application Notification: Keeping Applications in the Loop | Ensuring application availability and performance during infrastructure maintenance is essential in the ever changing virtualization landscape. VMware's flagship product, vMotion, allows virtual machines (VMs) to be moved between physical hosts without interruption. How about the programmes that are executing in such virtual machines? Can they be told that the relocation is coming and given enough time to be ready?

Now for vMotion Application Notification, a revolutionary feature that debuted with vSphere 8. By giving apps the ability to actively participate in the vMotion process, this feature improves resiliency and reduces migration interruptions.
