Albatross: Lightweight Elasticity in Shared Storage Databases for the Cloud using Live Data Migration
Summary: Albatross enables low-cost live migration of tenant databases in shared-storage cloud OLTP systems by migrating cache and active-transaction state. It preserves serializability and failure correctness, achieving zero aborts, negligible overhead, and ~300 ms unavailability. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
