A Performance Evaluation of Container Technologies on Internet of Things Devices
Roberto Morabito
TL;DR
This paper evaluates the performance impact of container technologies on IoT devices, specifically Raspberry Pi, finding that container overhead is generally negligible for lightweight applications.
Contribution
It provides an empirical performance assessment of container solutions on constrained IoT devices, which is scarce in existing literature.
Findings
Container overhead on Raspberry Pi is negligible.
Containers are suitable for deploying lightweight IoT applications.
Performance impact varies minimally across different container configurations.
Abstract
The use of virtualization technologies in different contexts - such as Cloud Environments, Internet of Things (IoT), Software Defined Networking (SDN) - has rapidly increased during the last years. Among these technologies, container-based solutions own characteristics for deploying distributed and lightweight applications. This paper presents a performance evaluation of container technologies on constrained devices, in this case, on Raspberry Pi. The study shows that, overall, the overhead added by containers is negligible.
