Cedana

Welcome to Cedana! This repository is the home of the Cedana daemon and the low-level orchestration of our save/migrate/resume (SMR) functionality, and is the entry-point into the larger cedana ecosystem.

We build on top of and leverage CRIU to provide userspace checkpoint/restore of processes and the many different abstraction levels that lie above. We also provide the ability to checkpoint/restore rootfs in both containerd and CRIO interfaces for full container checkpoint/restores.

For a list of supported container runtimes, see features.

We can monitor, migrate and automate checkpoints across a real-time network and compute configuration enabling ephemeral and hardware agnostic compute. See our website for more information about our managed product.

Some problems Cedana can help solve include:

• Cold-starts for containers & processes
• Keeping a process or container running independent of hardware/network failure
• Managing multiprocess/multinode systems (independent of Kubernetes/SLURM or any orchestration)
• Kubernetes checkpoint/restore
• GPU checkpoint/restore
• And more!
