Abstract
Serverless computing has gained widespread adoption due to its simplified management and lightweight design, particularly when paired with container orchestration systems like Kubernetes. By enabling developers to focus on application logic without managing underlying infrastructure, serverless computing offers advantages such as runtime-based billing in millisecond units, reducing operational costs and appealing to enterprises. This study evaluates resource utilization across 24 combinations of Ubuntu and Debian operating systems with Docker and Podman container platforms under varied workloads. Results indicate that Ubuntu with Docker achieves superior efficiency in CPU and RAM usage compared to other configurations. This experimental analysis provides practical insights into hardware resource management for serverless deployments and highlights opportunities for improving infrastructure in diverse scenarios.
