In cloud computing service it is important to share the system resource among multiple instances according to user requirements. In particular, the issue of efficiently distributing I/O resources across multiple instances is paid attention due to the rise of emerging data-centric technologies such as big data and deep learning. However, it is difficult to evaluate the I/O resource distribution of a Linux container, which is one of the core technologies of cloud computing, since conventional I/O benchmarks does not support features related to container management. In this paper, we propose a new I/O performance benchmarking framework that can easily evaluate the resource distribution of Linux containers using existing I/O benchmarks by supporting container-related features and integrated user interface. According to the performance evaluation result with trace-replay benchmark, the proposed benchmark framework has induced negligible performance overhead while providing convenience in evaluating the I/O performance of multiple Linux containers
