Bug Description
The OpenStack nova instance model supports the concept of migration and "live migration" where an instance can be moved either out of a host, or to another host.
The original 'migrate' command simply evacuates an instance from a compute node, and nova chooses where it ends up based on the configuration/
The live migration allows the host to be chosen, and attempts to do it 'live' (i.e a state-full pause, transfer, and then resume on the new host). The implication for LXD is that the hosts have concrete CRIU implementations so that the lxc container can have a state-full snapshot taken, moved, and then restarted on the new host.
