Abstract

In order to make cloud computing more performative, scalable, and financially less costly, it is necessary to use efficient and planned cloud services, avoiding under and overusing the allocated resources. In this context, the infrastructure (IaaS) and software-based (SaaS) services arise as alternatives at the moment to deploy systems in the cloud. On the other hand, it is necessary to understand the goods and bad things in abstracting the infrastructure layer and dealing with container-based services. Because of this, this work looks for comparing both kinds of services observing performance and scalability, using load testing to extract metrics that evaluate the efficient consumption of assigned resources, as well as their capability to scale their services. The results show that if container-based services get more latency in situations of lack of stress, they can deal better with high load of requisitions responding faster to stress of concurrence using load balancing aspects.
