Abstract:
Docker containers are becoming the mainstay for deploying applications in cloud platforms, having many desirable features like ease of deployment, developer friendliness and lightweight virtualization. Meanwhile, solid state disks (SSDs) have witnessed tremendous performance boost through recent innovations in industry such as Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) standards. However, the performance of containerized applications on these high speed contemporary SSDs has not yet been investigated. In this paper, we present a characterization of the performance impact among a wide variety of the available storage options for deploying Docker containers and provide the configuration options to best utilize the high performance SSDs.
