    Incus 6.8 Container & Virtual Machine Manager Released
    [10:49] schestowitz[TR3]
    [10:49] schestowitz[TR3]

    One of the standout features introduced in this release is the ability to perform live storage migration of virtual machines (VMs). This capability makes it possible to seamlessly move a running VM between different storage pools, enhancing flexibility and resource optimization.

    [10:49] schestowitz[TR3]

    While doing so, the VM must also relocate to another server within the cluster to prevent simultaneous QEMU instances on a single server. As a result, administrators now have a more dynamic environment where resources can be balanced on the fly.
