Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) For maturity of virtualization technologies, they have been used not only for cloud services but also for lower layer services such as NFV (Network Functions Virtualization). To offer such system as a service, more virtual servers would be needed although each of them needs few resources as users increase. It is important to allocate more virtual servers to less host servers with a certain performance level. So, we compare performances of many VMs or Containers on a same server. Specifically, we execute the 2 workloads. One is the packet forwarding workload and another is the CPU calculation workload. Finally, we evaluate our results for efficient consolidation.
