Abstract

The container-based virtualization technique has been widely used through the adoption of technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes that allow the creation and management of containers. Thus, the present article used Prometheus and Grafana to analyze the performance of a Kubernetes cluster running the Dojot platform and receiving data from a simulator. It was possible to observe that the use of CPU and RAM resources are higher in the machines Workers of the cluster, where the more Dojot services the machine performs the greater the consumption of resources. It was concluded that the use of Kubernetes together with its management and monitoring features are recommended for applications that need to be scalable.
