Database Management System Deployment on Docker Containerization for Distributed Systems

Abstract

Containerization is a novel technology that brings an alternative for virtualization. Due to the most infrastructure-based features, most computer system administration engineers use Docker as the infrastructure level platform. On the Docker containers, any such kind of software service can be deployed. This study aims to evaluate Docker container based relational database management system container behavior. Currently, most scholarly research articles are existing for the database engine performance evaluation under different metrics and measurements of the database management systems. Therefore, without repeating them: this study evaluated the data storage mechanisms, security approaches, container resource usages and container features on the launching mechanism. According to the observed features and factors on the containerized database management systems, containerized database management systems are presenting more value-added features. Hence containerized database management system Docker containers can be recommended for the distributed computer systems for getting the benefit of effectiveness and efficiency.
