The Goodness of Nesting Containers in Virtual Machines for Server Consolidation
연구 분야: Software Development
학회: Journal of Grid Computing
초록
Virtualization and server consolidation are the technologies that govern today’s data centers, allowing both efficient management at the functionality level as well as at the energy and performance levels. There are two main ways to virtualize either using virtual machines or containers. Both have a series of characteristics and applications, sometimes being not compatible with each other. Not to lose the advantages of each of them, there is a trend to load data centers by nesting containers in virtual machines. Although there are good experiences at a functional level, the performance and energy consumption trade-off of these solutions is not completely clear. Therefore, it is necessary to study how this new trend affects both energy consumption and performance. In this work, we present an experimental study aimed to investigate the behavior of nesting containers in virtual machines while executing CPU-intensive workloads. Our objective is to understand what performance and energy nesting configurations are equivalent or not. In this way, administrators will be able to manage their data centers more efficiently.
