Servicios basados en uavs y virtualización : servicios de red basados en contenedores.

Abstract

In recent years, the virtualization of network functions has been fundamental to deploying high-performance services by enabling the integration of network functions and services previously limited to physical devices. This offers multiple virtualized services to the user. Currently, virtual machines are the predominant way to deploy virtualized network functions and services. Although this virtualization provides several benefits compared to physical deployments, it also has disadvantages in terms of performance compared to non-virtualized deployment. In this context, several alternative virtualization technologies have been introduced in recent years, including containers. Containers allow the creation of isolated virtual environments in the same physical infrastructure, using the operating system's functions, such as namespaces and cgroups. In this regard, this curricular integration work implements the deployment of network services and functions using containers, focusing on a solution based on Docker containers. To do so, we start by reviewing the general concepts of containers, their architecture, and the types of deployment using Docker technology. Subsequently, a multi-container solution is designed and implemented using a Docker tool called Docker Compose, which allows the joint deployment of network services previously implemented using Docker. Finally, an analysis of the virtualization of services and network functions in the container environment is carried out, in order to understand how containers, especially Docker, can be used effectively to create and manage isolated environments that facilitate the deployment of services. network, thus optimizing resources and ensuring efficient and secure deployment.
