Linux容器正在塑造构建应用程序的新时代。凭借其低资源利用率开销和轻量级映像，它们为打包和运行应用程序提供了一种有吸引力的模型。与虚拟/物理机相比，Containers的启动时间更快，这使其成为自动扩展和按需配置的理想之选。可以使用几种方法来产生新的容器。本文从启动时间、资源消耗和启动后性能三个方面对三种不同的方法进行了比较。我们讨论了每种方法的适用性和优缺点，并提出了我们的建议。
Linux containers are shaping the new era of building applications. With their low resource utilization overhead and lightweight images, they present an appealing model to package and run applications. The faster boot time of containers compared to virtual/physical machines makes them ideal for auto-scaling and on-demand provisioning. Several methods can be used to spawn new containers. In this paper we compare three different methods in terms of start time, resource consumption and post-start performance. We discuss the applicability, advantages and shortcomings of each method, and conclude with our recommendations.
