Design and Implementation of Docker Architecture for Parking Management Systems

Abstract
Docker Container is a virtualization method becoming an alternative to today’s virtual machines. Containers isolate processes from each other and not the entire operating system. This study presents the usage of docker containers as an optional solution for virtualization, which can replace virtual machines. As proof of concept, we design and implement a parking lot management system using containers. Our work shows that adapting docker containers instead of virtual machines makes the system use the resources more efficiently and access them shorter in time. An overview of the topic is presented by investigating and identifying the following features: challenges, issues, solutions, techniques, factors, and effects regarding the adoption of docker technology. Finally, this study highlights the benefits of containers and the possibilities of their application in particular processes of current systems.
