Paper Details

Docker is a new technology developed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional virtual machines.Virtual machines have a complete operating system with its own memory management installed with the overheadassociated with virtual device drivers. In a virtual machine, valuable resources are emulated for the operating systemand client hypervisor, which allows to run many cases, one or more operating systems in parallel on a single machine(or host). Each guest OS operates as an individual entity host system.Moreover, Docker containers executed with the Docker motor instead of the hypervisor. The containers are thereforesmaller than the virtual machines and allow faster startup with better performance, less isolation and more compatibleas possible by sharing the hosts kernel.The proposed solution involves monitoring Docker containers in a cluster and in turn provide suggestion systemadministrator about the use of resources to improve the overall performance of the proposed system. The systemcalculates the different type of resources and stores the data only if the standard deviation is outside a certain limit, itreduces the size of the database and improves the performance.
