Container networking is emerging as a game‐changer paradigm for the deployment of virtualized service infrastructures in a faster and reliable way. Nevertheless, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are still skeptical to revise their business in this direction because of the absence of deep studies showing its effectiveness in real deployments leveraging local computing environments. To bridge this gap, this article presents a quantitative cross‐comparison of cutting‐edge technologies for container networking (including Docker as a container engine, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes as orchestrators, bare‐metal and OpenStack cloud as deployment platform), properly integrated to realize a virtualized service infrastructure within a commercial workstation. Initial experimental tests are conducted to identify the most suitable combination of technologies for high‐load environments, where many clients contact the virtualized service infrastructure to download files of large size. Obtained results demonstrate that the combination of Docker and Kubernetes generally ensures better performance on the bare‐metal deployment platform, thus emerging as mature and effective solutions to be used by SMEs. Finally, the behavior of the identified virtualized service infrastructure is also evaluated in a smart farm use case, where containers are in charge of processing images provided by mobile drones for monitoring purposes. In addition, in this case, the conducted study highlights the promising capability offered by container networking in real deployments, exploiting local computing environments.

容器计算技术在本地计算环境中的虚拟化服务基础结构的定量交叉比较

容器网络正在成为改变游戏规则的典范，以更快，更可靠的方式部署虚拟化服务基础架构。但是，由于缺乏深入的研究表明中小型企业（SME）在利用本地计算环境的实际部署中的有效性，因此他们仍然对朝这个方向修改业务持怀疑态度。为了弥合这种差距，本文提出了针对容器网络的最前沿技术（包括作为容器引擎的Docker，作为编排器的Docker Swarm和Kubernetes，作为部署平台的裸机和OpenStack云）的定量交叉比较。在商用工作站中实现虚拟化服务基础架构。进行初步的实验测试是为了确定适用于高负载环境的最合适的技术组合，在该环境中，许多客户端与虚拟化服务基础架构联系以下载大文件。获得的结果表明，Docker和Kubernetes的结合通常可以确保在裸机部署平台上获得更好的性能，从而成为中小企业可以使用的成熟有效的解决方案。最后，还将在智能服务器场用例中评估已标识的虚拟化服务基础架构的行为，在该用例中，容器负责处理由移动无人机提供的用于监视目的的图像。此外，在这种情况下，进行的研究强调了容器网络在实际部署中利用本地计算环境提供的有前途的功能。
