> Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling
> factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and
> particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage
> complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly
> dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers
> deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting
> techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and
> networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is
> unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing.
> Most recently, Function as a Service (Faas) and Serverless computing,
> utilizing lightweight VMs-containers widens the spectrum of
> applications that can be deployed in a cloud environment, especially
> in an HPC context. Here, HPC-provided services become accessible
> to distributed workloads outside of large cluster environments.
> 
> Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the
> overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its
> capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers
> with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its
> capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM)
> with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage
> physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization),
> with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and
> to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to
> provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high
> levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide
> for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface.
> I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take
> traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with
> its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent
> of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling
> virtualization of HPC infrastructures.
