IIRC Orleans (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...) allows actors to be moved between machines, which should map well to DOs being moved between locations.

As actors in Orleans are virtual and persistent it can also be the case it is running nowhere.

If it's stateless it could be running in multiple locations.

I worry "Dynamic relocation of DOs" might be going a bit too granular, this should be something the runtime takes care of.
