Feature Description

This feature is to use CRIU to live-migrate containers between EC2 instances, to keep server density high. This will eventually enable us to do Spot instances. Specifically, we want that when servers density is not maximized, we migrate mandelboxes from low-density servers to high-density servers, and shut down low-density instances, to save costs.

This is an example of a project doing this: https://github.com/twosigma/fastfreeze/
