# Overview
We are getting asks from multiple cluster admin that would like to explicitly specify the "destination" of the VM when doing Live migration.

We are getting asks from multiple cluster admin that would like - in exceptionel cases - to explicitly specify the "destination" of the VM when doing Live migration.
While this may be less important in a cloud-native environment,
we get this ask from many users coming from other virtualization solutions, where this is a common practice.
The same result can already be achieved today with a few steps, this is only about simplifying it with a single direct API on the single `VirtualMachineInstanceMigration` without the need to alter a VM spec.

- As a cluster admin I want - in exceptional but critical cases - to be able to try to live-migrate a VM to specific node (or node within a set of nodes) for various possible reasons such as:
- I just added to the cluster a new powerful node and I want to migrate a selected VM there without trying more than once according to scheduler decisions
- I'm not using any automatic workload rebalancing mechanism and I periodically want to manually rebalance my cluster according to my observations (see fon instance: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/descheduler/issues/225 )
- Foreseeing a peak in application load (e.g. new product announcement), I'd like to balance in advance my cluster according to my expectation and not to current observations
