Abstract
LXC is an OS-level virtualization technology supported by the Linux kernel. It can provide a lightweight virtualization technology support for PaaS cloud platform, in order to reach the goals that not only the different tenants are isolated but also the software as well as hardware system resources are shared. On the basis of analyzing the requirements of PaaS, a cloud resources management model of PaaS had been created by this paper based on the Cgroups mechanism of LXC. It conducted performance tests in terms of memory, CPU, disk and network transfer speed, etc., which was respectively to deploy various applications in the LXC-based and KVM-based PaaS. And then these performance results were analyzed and compared. The experimental results show that compared with KVM, the performance advantage of LXC is obvious, and it is very fit to be deployed in PaaS cloud platform of providing the high performance computing to ensure the computing high performance and high availability of PaaS cloud platform.
