New and innovative technologies to improve the techniques that are already being used are constantly developing. This project was about evaluating if containers could be something for the IT company Tieto to use on their products in telecommunications. Container are portable, standalone, executable lightweight packages of software that also contains all it needs to run the software. Containers are a very hot topic right now and are a fast-growing technology. Tieto wanted an investigation of the technology and it would be carried out with certain requirements where the main requirement was to have a working and executable protocol stack in a container environment. In the investigation, a proof of concept was developed, proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea in order to demonstrate its feasibility. The proof of concept led to Tieto wanting additional experiments carried out on containers. The experiments investigated if equal performance could be achieved with containers compared to the method with virtual machine used by Tieto today. The experiment observed a small performance reduction of efficiency, but it also showed benefits such as higher flexibility. Further development of the container method could provide a just as good and equitable solution. The project can therefore be seen as successful whereas the proof of concept developed, and experiments carried out both points to that this new technology will be part of Tieto's product development in the future.
