Deploying microservices on Docker containers

Microservices are best suited for containerization deployment. A container is a process that provides an isolated and controlled environment for an application to run without affecting the system or vice versa. Most of us have experienced hosting applications inside VMs, which provide an isolated space to install, configure, and run applications and use the dedicated resources without affecting the underlying system or application. In contrast to VMs, containers provide the same level of isolation but are more lightweight in terms of startup time and overhead. Unlike VMs, containers do not preallocate resources such as memory, disk, and CPU usage. We can run multiple containers on the same machine, where the containers are isolated from each other but share the memory, disk, and CPU usage. This enables any application running in a container...
