Microservice deployment is an exciting journey for us. For successful microservice delivery, deployment best practices should be followed. We need to focus on implementing isolation requirements for microservices even before we talk about deployment using automated tools. With successful microservice deployment practices, we can deliver business changes rapidly. The different isolation, requirements from self-sufficient teams to continuous delivery, give the scale and agility that are fundamental promises of microservices. Containerization is by far one of the most important innovative technologies we have, and we must take advantage of it for microservice deployment. Combining the Azure cloud with Docker will help us deliver the scale and isolation we are expecting from microservices. With Docker, we can easily achieve greater application density, which means a reduction in our cloud infrastructure cost. We also saw how easy it is to start these deployments with Visual Studio and Docker tools for Windows.
In our next chapter, we will look at microservice security. We will discuss the Azure active directory for authentication, how to leverage OAuth 2.0, and how to secure an API gateway with Azure API Management.
