vsphereWhich vMotion configuration minimizes VM stun duration for latency-sensitive apps?
When migrating a powered-on virtual machine between ESXi hosts in a vSphere environment, the final memory synchronization phase involves a brief period where the VM is paused, known as the stun period. For small applications with strict latency requirements, this pause can potentially trigger application-level timeouts or disconnects. The duration of this st
