A performance evaluation between Docker container and Virtual Machines in cloud computing architectures
Journal Title: MASKANA - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Reliability, portability, scalability and availability of applications are essential features of cloud computing in the software architecture of enterprises, that usually makes use of virtual machines (VM’s). The hardware resources of cloud computing are always limited, for this reason it is important that the available resources are adequately allocated to obtain the best possible performance. The container technology is an alternative to VM as it allows to virtualize operating systems, package applications along with the required dependencies and deploy them as an instance of the operating system, permit applications to run independently, and consume only the necessary resources. This article, related to the area of parallel and distributed computing, presents a performance evaluation analyzing several aspects between VM’s and Docker containers, based on different benchmark tools. The test configuration is based on the principles of high performance computing (HPC), adapting the same setup used to measure the performance of the processing of big amount of data or information, demanding all out of the available hardware resources. The results of the tests reveal that Docker containers perform better compared to VM’s based on VirtualBox.
