Abstract: In the recent past, building up an application has been a drastic change from monolithic to microservice. Developing the microservice application also increased the usage of containers. Most enterprises shifted their long old running monolith application to microservice. Microservices when deployed in containers give high scalability and performance. A container is a form of operating level virtualization which helps you to deploy applications along with their dependencies. The most popular container technology used today is docker which makes it easier to create and manage containers. Docker SWARM is a container orchestrator technology used for scaling containers which comes along with the docker installation. But the most widely used container orchestrator is Kubernetes which is developed by Google. Deploying the microservices application in a container and managing with Kubernetes is more powerful than deploying a monolithic application in a virtual machine.
