Improvement of the Power Consumption of Docker Container Environments by evaluation and adaptation of logging techniques

<pre>Container technologies are becoming increasingly important in cloud computing, data centers, and software development. As a result, the number of computing units increases significantly, leading to an increase in power consumption. If the energy consumption of a computing instance is changed minimally by an adapted configuration, this can have a large impact on entire container environments. This paper uses the example of docker logging drivers to show what these effects could be in terms of CPU consumption, reachability, power consumption and power costs.</pre>容器技术（Container technologies）在云计算、数据中心及软件开发领域的重要性与日俱增。伴随这一趋势的是计算单元数量的大幅增长，进而导致能耗攀升。若通过适配配置仅对计算实例的能耗做出小幅调整，却可对整个容器环境产生显著影响。本文以Docker 日志驱动（docker logging drivers）为例，探讨其在CPU占用、可达性、能耗及用电成本方面的各类影响。
