Both monolith and microservice architectural styles come with different deployment challenges. In the case of .NET monolithic applications, more often, deployments are a flavor of xcopy deployments. Microservice deployments present a different set of challenges. Continuous integration and continuous deployment are the key practices to deliver microservice applications. Also, container technologies and their toolchain to build and deploy, which promises greater isolation boundaries, are essential for microservice deployment and scaling.
In this chapter, we will discuss the fundamentals of microservice deployment and the influence of emerging practices, such as CI/CD tools and containers, on microservice deployment. We will also ...
