Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a paradigm that enables easier network programmability based on separation between network control plane and data plane. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is another recent technology that has enabled design, deploy, and management of softwarized networking services. The vast majority of SDN and NFV based architectures, whether they use Virtual machines (VMs) or Lightweight Virtual Machines (LVMs), are designed to program forwarding, probably the most fundamental among all network mechanisms. In this paper instead we demonstrated that there are other (as important) networking mechanisms that need programmability. In particular, we designed, implemented and extensively tested an architecture that enables policy-programmability of (live) migration of LVMs. Migration is used for maintenance, load balancing, or as a security mechanism in what is called Moving Target Defence (a virtual host migrates to hide from an attacker). Our architecture is based on Docker and it is implemented within a Software-Defined Infrastructure. Migration mechanism can be set easily by means of configuration file, to make a novel policybased architecture. We evaluated the performance of our system in several scenarios, over a local Mininet-based testbed. We analyzed the tradeoff between several Load Balancing policies as well as several Moving Target Defense solutions inspired by network coding.
