Aplicación del sistema de contenedores Docker, como alternativa a sistemas de virtualización para mejorar el testeo de aplicaciones en un entorno de desarrollo C#

Abstract

Technology over the days has been advancing in an incalculable way to the point that the world is surrounded by technological tools that facilitate people's daily lives. Information technologies are being updated and it is necessary to be constantly trained to always be at the forefront of each new implementation that exists. In the computer environment it is necessary to know how hardware and software work in order to provide the best service to those who need it; due to the demand that technologies have had in recent years, companies have chosen to improve their computer resources by entering the world of resource reduction. Within virtualization, we want to limit the use of resources to reduce costs and improve the performance of companies, since what a company wants is for its computer environment to be firm and sustainable to get ahead. The developers of the companies have chosen to use virtualization through virtual machines or containers for the use of multiple operating systems on a single server for the execution of applications developed on them without consuming too many resources. This project aims to demonstrate the use of virtual machines and containers in the testing of applications specifically developed in C#, it carries out a comparative Benchmarking between the two virtualization methods demonstrating which is optimal in terms of boot time, speed, performance, and use of resources. It generates 2 environments: The first is a Docker AlmaLinux 8.6 container and the second a AlmaLinux 8.6 virtual machine installed by means of KVM, in both the same application was tested and data was captured determining which one is best for testing applications generating firm conclusions for future companies to start applying it.
