Abstract:
Container clusters have an inherent complexity. A distributed container application in the cloud can be complex at planning, installation and configuration, maintenance and search for failures. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are mostly limited by their personnel and financial restrictions. Using advanced cloud technologies like a container cluster often requires high personnel expenses or the use of an external system builder. In addition to economical, security- and governance issues there is also the concern of technical vendor lock-ins. This paper introduces C4S, an open source system for SMEs to deploy and operate their container application with features like elasticity, auto-scaling and load balancing. The system also supports transferability features for migrating container between different Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. This paper presents a solution for SMEs to use the benefits of cloud computing without the disadvantages of vendor lock-in.
