TEMPORARY VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION FOR IMPROVED SOFTWARE APPLICATION WARMUP

In an approach to reducing the duration of a software warmup process, one or more computer processors determine whether utilizing live migration of one or more virtual machines from a first computer to a second computer will reduce the duration of a warmup process of a software application. In response to determining that utilizing live migration of one or more virtual machines from a first computer to a second computer will reduce the duration of the warmup process, the one or more computer processors identify at least one second computer. The one or more computer processors migrate the one or more virtual machines to the at least one second computer. The one or more computer processors perform the warmup process. In response to performing the warmup process, the one or more computer processors migrate the one or more virtual machines to the first computer.
