Alowolodu Olufunso Dayo . A Multi-Containerized Application using Docker Containers and Kubernetes Clusters. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 44 ( Dec 2021), 55-60. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921843
The Cloud is a virtual environment that provisions massive and scalable computing resources and services on a pay-as-you-go basis which is also the process of migrating from a physical environment to a virtual environment. Virtualization could be achieved either through virtual machines or containers. While virtual machines start with a full operating system and all its included software hereby making it bulkier, containers are built to contain only the necessary libraries and dependencies inside them. There has been a huge problem with developing and deploying applications in production and development environments. The same apps that work perfectly well in development can show glitches when deployed in production thereby making the gap between the Development and Operation to be wide which makes the software being deployed to be delivered at a slower pace with an increase in maintenance costs. This has necessitated the introduction of Docker and Kubernetes to mitigate against this and it will be tested with the Fibonacci sequence calculator.
