Automation Framework Development for Continuous Integration and Deployment in CT Machines Using LXC and Docker Container Lightweight Virtualization Techniques

Abstract

In the present enterprise level, computer system assets are supreme to the point that they frequently have surplus limit. It is legitimate practice to devote singular system to a individual application. Only some applications utilize limited running power, yet with the utilization of local techniques and advances, a large number of PCs will be utilized particularly with regards to a completely fledged industry. Virtualization comes into picture here where the manager can solidify a huge number of individual PCs to a solitary server. Virtualization supports new chances to server farm management, letting client's assured uptime of servers and as well as applications, speedy disaster recovery, Instant deployment of new virtual machines, Elasticity, Reconfiguration of running computing environments without affecting the clients/users. Virtualization plays a vital role in improving maintenance of healthcare devices such as CT machines. There are several CT machines which are running with a very naïve technology for which specific number of resources such CPU, memory, processing, labour must be dedicated which is definitely a huge wastage of resources. Using virtualization techniques, resources can be used in an effective manner, and there is a need to develop an automated framework which should be language independent and supports cross platform by which unification of different CT models can be done. This framework also automates many manual tasks related to CT machines reducing the man power and indirectly reduces the manual mistakes.
