Abstract

Our planet is a weave of inter-connected devices that are generating data tremendously and continuously communicating. The virtual and physical objects (devices) are connected by a global network (internet) with self-configuring capability. One of the many emerging technologies in present times is Internet of Things (IoT) where everyday objects are not only connected and communicating with each other but also capable of taking real-time decision with minimal human interaction (smart devices), Hence IoT is the future of the internet and can be referred as Internet of Everything or Web of Things. A large amount of data (structured/unstructured) is generated by IoT applications. The existing architecture of IoT application’s devices doesn’t have enough capability to store and process the data. The cloud computing technology centralizes the data in one place to analyze, process and provides on-demand access. So the new style of IoT with Cloud Architecture would provide a solution to data storage, real-time analysis and make IoT application smart, scalable, reliable and flexible. However, developers are facing multiple barriers while developing, creating and scaling IoT application. The technology of Docker which is open-sourced, is useful for container-based solution of virtualization, which can help to develop and scale its application easy and fast. The result of benchmark tools for performance measurement comparison between host and docker shows the positive impact of using the container. The test results have indicated that Docker meets central IoT requirements through a rich set of features.
