Abstract

The development of infrastructure capable of meeting current demands is increasingly becoming a determining factor in the technological environment. The following work discusses problems causing these demands and attempts to chart how the present scenario deals with integrating technologies to provide an agile infrastructure for cloud-based environments. Eleven primary studies were identified and added value to continue the study of microservice and container integration. As a result, we have found several insights about how approaches are being used, how microservice architecture is addressed, what the community is seeking, and what research line is being pursued integration. Thus, most of the surveyed works are paying considerable attention to the integration of microservices and containers. Moreover, Docker and Kubernetes are the dominant technologies for implementing containers and managing containers at scale, respectively.
