Virtualization and Containerization of Application Infrastructure : A Comparison. Scheepers, M. J. 21st Twente Student Conference on IT, 2014.
abstract   bibtex   
Modern cloud infrastructure uses virtualization to isolate applications, optimize the utilization of hardware resources and provide operational flexibility. However, conventional virtualization comes at the cost of resource overhead. Container-based virtualization could be an alternative as it potentially reduces overhead and thus improves the uti- lization of datacenters. This paper presents the results of a marco-benchmark performance comparison between the two implementations of these technologies, namely Xen and LXC, as well as a discussion on their operational flex- ibility.
