Delivering enterprise applications that can operate with high availability, excellent performance, and strong security has always been challenging. Important aspect of delivering application in a distributed environment is application portability and packaging its dependencies. This work attempts to address these challenges using state-of-the-art tools and application delivery methods in a cloud. The goal of the project was to create and set up sustainable and reliable service architecture for existing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product Trail in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
The basis for all high-performance clouds is a virtualised infrastructure. The focus of the study was Linux containers as it is a modern paradigm in cloud computing. The technology provides efficient and lightweight virtualisation mechanism. Docker platform was used as a toolkit for containerisation. The application architecture was defined in a single YAML file using Docker Compose orchestration tool.
The result of this project is the implemented service architecture for the Trail in VPC using Linux containers allowing to build and run the application within a self-contained execution environment using lightweight container-based virtualisation. The implemented architecture automates the application environment setup and maintenance. The project presents that Linux containers with tools like Docker and Docker Compose can be used to improve the application delivery process within a cloud.
