Abstract
The emergence of the container in various cloud platforms from Open Stack\nto Google Cloud Platform has marked the industry interest in opting for\ncontainer as their cloud service solution. However, the cloud users should\naware of performance overheads of different virtualization solutions in order\nto avoid quality of service degradation because different container platforms\ndelivered different performances. This research evaluated how different\ncontainer platforms (Docker, LXC, and LXD) impacted in running different\nTCP services and also measured system performance of each container\ncompared to the native system without any container solution based on\noverall performance metrics. This research focuses on the three most used\nPaaS: FTP Server, Web Server, and Mail Server. Related to previous works,\nour evaluation results show that performance could vary between containers.\nIn terms of system performance, LXD shows better performance while server\nperformance result varies depending on what service is being evaluated.
