Performance analysis of container-based networking Solutions for high-performance computing cloud

Abstract

Recently, cloud service providers have been gradually changing from virtual machine-based cloud infrastructures to container-based cloud-native infrastructures that consider performance and workload-management issues. Several data network performance issues for virtual instances have arisen, and various networking solutions have been newly developed or utilized. In this paper, we propose a solution suitable for a high-performance computing (HPC) cloud through a performance comparison analysis of container-based networking solutions. We constructed a supercomputer-based test-bed cluster to evaluate the serviceability by executing HPC jobs.
