A performance comparison of linux containers and virtual machines using Docker and KVM

초록

Virtualization is a foundational element of cloud computing. Since cloud computing is slower than a native system, this study analyzes ways to improve performance. We compared the performance of Docker and Kernel-based virtual machine (KVM). KVM uses full virtualization, including hardware virtualization extensions. Docker is a solution provided by isolation in userspace instead of creating a virtual machine. The performance of KVM and Docker was compared in three ways. These comparisons show that Docker is faster than KVM.
