Yes, full freeze of process with CRIU could be an option though not limited to that. Tcp network pausing/throttling as well. Regarding backpressure I am talking about reactive streams, of which I am a fan of late, this would be better suited perhaps at the application level [0]. Regarding infra/pod level migrations, I am wondering if this would be something to implement at the kubernetes level , perhaps a new type of controller/service ? You could then perhaps use labels to identify throttling/freezing/thawing of pods during migration. [0]: http://www.reactive-streams.org/ http://www.reactive-streams.org/
