Abstract

Cloud Computing is one of the leading paradigms in the IT industry. Earlier, cloud applications used to be built as single monolithic applications, and are now built using the Microservices Architectural Style. Along with several advantages, the microservices architecture also introduce challenges at the infrastructural level. Five such concerns are identified and analysed in this paper. The paper presents the state-of-art in different infrastructural concerns of microservices, namely, load balancing, scheduling, energy efficiency, security and resource management of microservices. The paper also suggests some future trends and research domains in the field of microservices.
