Abstract: Distributed architecture no longer means having multiple servers for different services, the world had moved on to micro services. Containerization has given the power in the hands of the developers to spin up images for micro services as and when required. The architecture of containers divides applications into distributed containers, which offer the flexibility to place them on different physical and virtual machines. System admin now just have the responsibility of keeping the server running with any container orchestrator. Cloud providers have realized these needs and have started offering similar services, which take away the mundane burden and emancipating time for development.
