Abstract

Containerization has become a popular approach for deploying and managing applications in cloud environments due to its lightweight nature and scalability. However, optimizing the mapping of containers to underlying cloud resources is critical for maximizing performance and resource utilization. This paper investigates the impact of container mapping strategies on the performance of containerized applications in cloud environments.We begin by examining various container mapping techniques, including static mapping, dynamic mapping, and hybrid approaches. Static mapping assigns containers to resources based on predefined rules or constraints, while dynamic mapping adjusts container placement based on real-time resource availability and workload characteristics. Hybrid approaches combine elements of both static and dynamic mapping to achieve a balance between predictability and adaptability.Next, we evaluate the performance implications of different container mapping strategies through experimentation and analysis. We measure key performance metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and scalability under varying workload conditions. Our findings highlight the trade-offs between different mapping strategies in terms of performance, resource efficiency, and overhead.Top of Form
