Usage of the microservice architecture on the Containers-as-a-Service platform

The aim of this diploma thesis is to implement a solution based on microservice architecture and deploy it to Containers-as-a-Service environment using the Docker platform. The theoretical part of the thesis is conceived as a general introduction to the used technologies. Firstly, I describe the microservice architecture. In the next chapter, the term dockerization, which is often associated with microservices, is discussed in detail. The space is also dedicated to the Kubernetes, which is currently one of the most used orchestration solutions. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the idea of DevOps and the advantages that this approach brings together with the microservices architecture and software containers. The last two chapters of theoretical part are dedicated to cloud computing and its response to the dockerization trend in the creation of a new Containers-as-a-Service distribution model. The first part of the practical part deals with the design and development of the sample application. For easier illustration, the model of simple eshop was chosen and had been decomposed into individual microservices. The next step is dockerization of project and preparation of configuration structures for the Kubernetes orchestrator. The thesis also includes a description of the Continuous Deployment process created using SaaS tools. Google Cloud Platform has been chosen to be the cloud service provider in which the sample application has been installed. The conclusion of the work is dedicated to demonstrating the benefits of using the microservices architecture and Docker technology in Containers-as-a-Service enviroment.
