Azure AppDev Challenge

Day 2 - Microservices & scale-out

The Web / API applications are rather simple, but now consider that they are to be part of much larger microservices based architecture – and the requirement is be able to scale each microservice independently. These needs an orchestrator such as Kubernetes, SF, SF Mesh, other

• Convert Web/API applications to run as Docker containers
• Deploy into an Orchestrator – such as Kubernetes, SF, SF Mesh, other
  • For the purpose of this hack and to be using Docker containers – using Web Apps for Containers is an OK approach.
• Amend CI build pipelines to build Docker images and push to Container Registry
• Amend CD release pipelines to deploy latest containers to orchestrator of choice
• Handle Scale – ramp up the load from IoT simulator (more map locations / faster updates)
  • Ensure Orchestrator is configured to auto-scale
