Fog computing architectures are composed of a large number of machines distributed across a geographical area such as a city or a region. In this context it is important to support a quick startup of applications deployed in the for of docker containers. This thesis explores the reasons for slow deployment and identifies three improvement opportunities: (1) improving the Docker cache hit rate; (2) speed-up the image installation operation; and (3) accelerate the application boot phase after the creation of a container.
