Abstract

Container technology has been prevalent and widely-adopted in production environment considering the huge benefits to application packing, deploying and management. However, the deployment process is relatively slow by using conventional approaches. In large-scale concurrent deployments, resource contentions on the central image repository would aggravate such situation. In fact, it is observable that the image pulling operation is mainly responsible for the degraded performance. To this end, we propose Cider - a novel deployment system to enable rapid container deployment in a high concurrent and scalable manner at scale. Firstly, on-demand image data loading is proposed by altering the local Docker storage of worker nodes into all-nodes-sharing network storage. Also, the local copy-on-write layer for containers can ensure Cider to achieve the scalability whilst improving the cost-effectiveness during the holistic deployment. Experimental results reveal that Cider can shorten the overall deployment time by 85% and 62% on average when deploying one container and 100 concurrent containers respectively.
