Microservices is an architectural style inspired by service-oriented computing that has recently started gaining popularity. Before presenting the current state-of-the-art in the field, this chapter reviews the history of software…

Solving the software dependency issue under the HPC environment has always been a difficult task for both computing system administrators and application scientists. This work would like to tackle the issue by introducing the modern…

[Context] Microservices enable the decomposition of applications into small and independent services connected together. The independence between services could positively affect the development velocity of a project, which is considered an…

Virtualization is a technique that allows multiple instances typically running different guest operating systems on top of single physical hardware. A hypervisor, a layer of software running on top of the host operating system, typically…

Linux containers have gained high popularity in recent times. This popularity is significantly due to various advantages of containers over Virtual Machines (VM). The containers are lightweight, occupy lesser storage, have fast boot-up…

Digital media has been increasing very rapidly, resulting in cloud computing's popularity gain. Cloud computing provides ease of management of large amount of data and resources. With a lot of devices communicating over the Internet and…

Microservices have become the de-facto software architecture for cloud-native applications. A contentious architectural decision in microservices is to compose them using choreography or orchestration. In choreography, every service works…

The microservices architectural style is widely favored for its scalability, reusability, and easy maintainability, prompting increased adoption by developers. However, transitioning from a monolithic to a microservices-based architecture…

Over the last few years, the use of virtualization technologies has increased dramatically. This makes the demand for efficient and secure virtualization solutions become more obvious. Container-based virtualization and hypervisor-based…

This paper proposes an architectural framework for the efficient orchestration of containers in cloud environments. It centres around resource scheduling and rescheduling policies as well as autoscaling algorithms that enable the creation…

There is an increasing demand to incorporate hybrid environments as part of workflows across edge, cloud, and HPC systems. In a such converging environment of cloud and HPC, containers are starting to play a more prominent role, bringing…

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an emerging network paradigm that provides cloud and IT services at the point of access of the network. Such proximity to the end user translates into ultra-low latency and high bandwidth, while, at the same…

Microservices architectures are a departure from traditional Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Influenced by Domain Driven Design (DDD), microservices architectures aim to help business analysts and enterprise architects develop scalable…

Context: The combination of distributed stream processing with microservice architectures is an emerging pattern for building data-intensive software systems. In such systems, stream processing frameworks such as Apache Flink, Apache Kafka…

Performance interference can occur when various services are executed over the same physical infrastructure in a cloud system. This can lead to performance degradation compared to the execution of services in isolation. This work proposes a…

In the ever-evolving landscape of computing, the advent of edge and fog computing has revolutionized data processing by bringing it closer to end-users. While cloud computing offers numerous advantages, including mobility, flexibility and…

Network virtualization allows one to build dynamic distributed systems in which resources can be dynamically allocated at locations where they are most useful. In order to fully exploit the benefits of this new technology, protocols need to…

Datacenters are witnessing a rapid surge in the adoption of serverless functions for microservices-based applications. A vast majority of these microservices typically span less than a second, have strict SLO requirements, and are chained…

Microservices have transformed monolithic applications into lightweight, self-contained, and isolated application components, establishing themselves as a dominant paradigm for application development and deployment in public clouds such as…

Containers are used by an increasing number of Internet service providers to deploy their applications in multi-access edge computing (MEC) systems. Although container-based virtualization technologies significantly increase application…
