Microservices and Microsegmentation

The thing to remember is that just because dev has decided to leverage microservices does not in turn mean that the network somehow magically becomes microsegmented or that if microsegmentation is used to optimize the network service architecture that suddenly apps become microservices. Microsegmentation can be used to logically isolate monolithic applications as easily as it can microservices.

“Micro is big these days” - The below statement is from an article showing the similarities and differences between microservices and microsegmentation. Of course we all know the differences, but we might have never thought about the similarities between the two approaches.

Microsegmentation and microservices

found this article on DZone and wanted to quickly share my thoughts on it.

“Micro is big these days” - This statement is from a article showing the similarities and differences between microservices and microsegmentation. Of course we all know the differences, but we might have never thought about the similarities between the two approaches.

Microservices are about dissecting applications to smaller units and run those units independently instead of running them in a monolithic application. This creates the ability to decouple those functions and makes the service more scalable, independent from the other services and easier to maintain a single functionality. Often one team is responsible for one microservice. They maintain their interface, but consumers of the service do not have to worry about the inner workings as long as they stick to the public interface.
