The new generation of virtualization is containerization. In this paper we measured the most common container techniques to determinate the performance of these techniques regarding computing power and network performance with industry standard measurement applications. We used these measurement results to compare them with native performance without any container techniques and with the Linux standard virtualization KVM performance. For the first time, this paper also measures the performance of the Singularity container system, which is a new approach of HPC systems container usage.
