description The advancement of cloud computing technologies has positioned virtual machine (VM) migration as a critical area of research, essential for optimizing resource management, bolstering fault tolerance, and ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. This paper offers an exhaustive analysis of VM migration processes within cloud infrastructures, examining various migration types, server load assessment methods, VM selection strategies, ideal migration timing, and target server determination criteria. We introduce a queuing theory-based model to scrutinize VM migration dynamics between servers in a cloud environment. By reinterpreting resource-centric migration mechanisms into a task-processing paradigm, we accommodate the stochastic nature of resource demands, characterized by random task arrivals and variable processing times. The model is specifically tailored to scenarios with two servers and three VMs. Through numerical examples, we elucidate several performance metrics: task blocking probability, average tasks processed by VMs, and average tasks managed by servers. Additionally, we examine the influence of task arrival rates and average task duration on these performance measures.
