Talk Proposal: Java Checkpoint/Restore

[Christine Flood]

Title: Java Checkpoint Restore

Abstract:
Java has evolved significantly in the past 20+ years.  Users still
want to run highly scalable monolithic applications, but now they also
want to run in the cloud with fast startup and small footprint.
Checkpointing will solve at least half of that problem.  I'll show you
how to  checkpoint your java application and then restore it on a
different machine, or several different machines.  An application that
might take minutes to warm up, can be warmed up, garbage collected,
etc and then checkpointed.  Users can restore Java processes in ms.
I'll give an overview of CRIU (Checkpoint Restore In Userspace) a
Linux utility that Java checkpointing is based on, present the
proposed Java API,  and then demo some interesting use cases.
