Joining Jolie to Docker - Orchestration of Microservices on a Containers-as-a-Service Layer

摘要

Cloud computing is steadily growing and, as IaaS vendors have started tooffer pay-as-you-go billing policies, it is fundamental to achieve as muchelasticity as possible, avoiding over-provisioning that would imply highercosts. In this paper, we briefly analyse the orchestration characteristics ofPaaSSOA, a proposed architecture already implemented for Jolie microservices,and Kubernetes, one of the various orchestration plugins for Docker; then, weoutline similarities and differences of the two approaches, with respect totheir own domain of application. Furthermore, we investigate some ideas toachieve a federation of the two technologies, proposing an architecturalcomposition of Jolie microservices on Docker Container-as-a-Service layer.
