The microservice architecture is another approach to developing a distributed application. This approach is suitable for the agility, scale, and reliability requirements of modern cloud applications. As we know, a microservice application is decomposed into separate components independently to work together to achieve the whole system.
In microservice architecture, you can scale out independently on the specific functionality rather than unnecessarily scaling out other areas of the application. So, you can scale the resources, such as processing power or network bandwidth, for a specific microservice. But what about sharing infrastructures with another microservice? In this chapter, we will discuss this challenge. Containerization comes into the picture to solve the problem of sharing infrastructure between microservices and allowing microservices to be more autonomous.
Containerization allows you to run your microservices in a completely...
