Patent attributes
An approach for virtual machine migration between hypervisor virtual machines and containers is provided. The approach performs, by one or more computer processors, an initial inspection of an image. The approach assigns, by one or more computer processors, an initial status to the image, wherein the initial status identifies a type of virtualization realization compatible with the image. The approach performs, by one or more computer processors, a series of checks for container incompatibilities. The approach determines, by one or more computer processors, whether the image can be realized as a container. Responsive to a determination that the image can be realized as a container, the approach realizes, by one or more computer processors, the image in a container based virtualization.
