Web Service Micro-Container for Service-based Applications in Cloud Environments

Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on Internet protocols, and it typically involves provisioning of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources. In this paper, we propose to design and implement a new service micro-container to address scalability by reducing memory consumption and response time. We propose to dedicate a services micro-container for each deployed service and thus avoid the processing limits of classical services containers. Our micro-container is evaluated and compared to conventional Web containers to highlight our contribution.
