Disaster Recovery and Application Security in Microservices: Exploring Kubernetes, Application Gateways, and Cloud Solutions for High Availability

Abstract Unfortunately, it is not disaster recovery, high availability, or cloud technologies that are inherently difficult to understand, but rather the action of implementing them for software applications that is difficult. The unique method of implementation for a microservices architecture is explored. Regulatory compliance doesn’t stop just because an effective disaster recovery requirement is tough [...] Read more.
Unfortunately, it is not disaster recovery, high availability, or cloud technologies that are inherently difficult to understand, but rather the action of implementing them for software applications that is difficult. The unique method of implementation for a microservices architecture is explored. Regulatory compliance doesn’t stop just because an effective disaster recovery requirement is tough to satisfy for infrastructure unique to sleek microservices. The high-availability location transparency bliss offered by a cloud solution is appealing to a security engineering department. However, the headache starts when the technology presents a handful of undesirable surprises that leak RESTful microservices to the outside world. These are the challenges that post-SOA cloud-resident robustly scalable applications will need to address and overcome. The goal is to explore several popular methods of accomplishing these tough objectives so that engineers can further research the most practical solution. An innovative implementation that leverages Service Bus relays as an elegant disaster recovery solution while enforcing a strict subnet where RESTful microservices solely live will be discussed. The curiosity lies in the atypical experimentation beyond basic gateways and the facility of using such simplicity while still answering day-to-day software development infrastructure challenges for applications we build. Resilient full-service web proxy service crashes and delivery latency switches by harnessing the microservices pod health will also be discussed [1].

Containerization and Microservices in Payment Systems: A Study of Kubernetes and Docker in Financial Applications

Abstract The banking sector has shown a strong interest in scaling out and utilizing the microservices architectural pattern within their payments domain, not only to manage increased transaction volumes, but also for compliance and risk-related control. Financial organizations are adopting containerization technologies like Kubernetes and Docker to align with the microservices paradigm. Containerization [...] Read more.
The banking sector has shown a strong interest in scaling out and utilizing the microservices architectural pattern within their payments domain, not only to manage increased transaction volumes, but also for compliance and risk-related control. Financial organizations are adopting containerization technologies like Kubernetes and Docker to align with the microservices paradigm. Containerization provides the foundation for automation and operational excellence of microservice-based applications by enabling continuous deployment and automated build-test-release cycles. However, deploying a Kubernetes cluster and the services it hosts in production is not sufficient to guarantee a secure and compliant operating environment. Kubernetes itself should be secured to protect workloads, and risks associated with the services being deployed must be managed continuously.
