摘要:A virtual machine has been adopted to maximize the utilization ratio of computing resources, limiting costs byreducing the need for physical hardware systems. Containers (very light virtual machines) now deliver data localitywith processes in the application level whereas conventional application deployment has used data locality in theserver which often causes dependency complexity, as applications in the same host share the system’s environment.Polylithic architecture using containers in parallel computing opens up new possibilities in the following methods ofapplication foundations: application as resources, application as allocation, application as replication, andapplication as customization. Parallel polylithic architecture in microservices architecture also empowers us totreat applications as resources where each microservice can be allocated, replicated, or even replaced.
