Migration can be done based on work stealing sounds misleading. Maybe something like:
Nodes might apply the work stealing pattern by migrating the workload, encapsulated in the container.

That would be the idea, if that actually works and how it would perform is up to that experiment ;).

That is for new applications possible, but there may be "legacy" applications which rely on communication methods like shared memory, and pipes.

If this ends in an research paper I would like to read it.
