CLOUD-NATIVE APPLICATION MODERNIZATION IN MICROSERVICE ARCHITECTURE

Cloud computing has formed the conceptual and infrastructural basis for tomorrow's computing. The global computing infrastructure is rapidly moving towards Cloud-based architecture. While it is important to take advantage of Cloud-based computing by means of deploying it in diversified sectors, the main pillars of Cloud-Native applications are based on microservices architecture approaches, which can evolve with agility and scale to limits that would be difficult to achieve in a monolithic architecture deployed to either on-premises or Cloud environment. The key difference between a Cloud-native application and a simpler Cloud- Optimized web app is the recommendation to use microservice architectures in a Cloud-native approach [11]. Cloud-optimized apps can also be monolithic web apps or N-Tier apps. The microservice architecture is an advanced approach that onecan use for applications that are created from scratch, or when Cloud-native applicationsevolve from existing applications[6]. This paper presents a review on the Cloud-native application modernization in micro servicearchitecture [10]
