Performance Evaluations of LXC Based Educational Cloud in Amazon EC2
Minoru Uehara · 2016
Recently, cloud computing becomes popular. Cloud is used for education. We proposed supersaturation method and developed educational cloud based on supersaturation. In cloud computing, the supersaturation method is a method of assigning a lot of logic resources than the physical resources. The cost is more important for supersaturated cloud than the performance. Recently, Linux containers such as LXC have been developed. LXC is suited for supersaturation. In this paper, we build a supersaturated cloud on Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and evaluate its performance. We employ installing Ruby as a benchmark. As the results, the response times of t2. large instances linearly increase till 28 instances. Therefore, we conclude that EC2 is suited to build supersaturated cloud in reasonable cost.
