New Trends In Microservices & Containerization
Microservices is a term used for the concept of breaking down applications into smaller components that work together. With this break-down, the application becomes easier to build and maintain as each component is then independently developed and separately maintained. Microservices offer the benefits of developer independence, isolation, scalability, and lifecycle automation to applications.
Containerization is a technology that offers a logical packaging mechanism where applications can be abstracted or separated from the environment in which they actually run, making it easier to host applications inside portable environments.
By this abstraction or decoupling, containerization helps developers focus on their application logic and dependencies and leave the deployment and management on the IT operations team.
Using containers for microservices offer enormous advantages to include reduced size, cost reduction, more developer independence, enhanced efficiency, flexible storage, scalability, better isolation, and quicker execution.
Top Microservices and Containerization Trends
Microservices and containers have gained immense popularity in recent years. There are many emerging technologies and tools that support microservices and containerization, to provide a better development experience.
So, let’s see the most popular trends in microservices and containerization that can reshape the app development industry!
1. Kubernetes
Kubernetes or k8s is an open-source, portable system or Container-As-A-Service platform that manages containerized services to include automating application deployment, scaling, and management.
If one container running the application goes down, another needs to start immediately to prevent downtime. Kubernetes manages this task for us by restarting the failed containers, killing the failed containers, and replacing them as needed. Kubernetes helps in stable deployment by providing load balancing and network traffic distribution when the traffic is very high.
Besides, Kubernetes allows you to mount the storage system of your choice automatically and provides automated rollouts and rollbacks. Due to its numerous benefits, Kubernetes has revolutionized the container services and has become the top and most popular containerization trend.
2. Artificial Intelligence Operations
AIOps or Artificial Intelligence Operations is the use of ML and AI to develop tools meant to automate the work done by IT Ops teams. This can apply to solving complex system failure issues to automating the process of identifying security breach and its correction by utilizing data and patterns.
With the use of cloud and distributed containerization, the data to be handled by IT Ops teams is increasing rapidly. Thus, AIOPs are the need of the hour.
AIOps can help in failure identification and prevention. It enables automatic shutting down of unused resources to cut costs and automated security monitoring and prevention. It thus improves overall productivity.
3. DevOps
DevOps is a merger of development and operations, a process in software development or a set of cultural practices that focus on collaboration between all parts of the IT organization for the continuous delivery of software.
Containers help in making DevOps easy and convenient as containers solve the application conflicts between different environments.
The key aspects of DevOps are automated deployments and standardized production environments that result in making deployments predictable and relieving the teams from routine repetitive tasks. This saves precious time that can be used for creativity. DevOps offer the technical advantages of continuous software delivery, less complexity to manage, and quicker resolution of problems.
For teams, DevOps offer numerous cultural benefits to include collaborative working, time-saving and
