Abstract


Docker is one of the platforms for the creation and management of containers with wide use in the market. A problem that affects availability is the phenomenon of software aging, an unavoidable process, where the application processes suffer degradation of performance throughout their use. This study aims to monitor and evaluate the performance of the Docker platform in the context of the cloud computing paradigm, including possible software aging effects. We conducted an experimental study with a workload to simulate the life cycle of containers, while the system monitoring was performed. The results show high resource consumption as RAM and CPU usage in the network utility of operating system (OS) , in addition to memory fragmentation an important subprocess of the platform.
