Abstract

Containerization has become fundamental to deploying cloud-native applications, allowing for the packaging and independent execution of applications. This approach speeds up deployment processes and facilitates the creation of various environments for feature testing. However, the ephemeral nature of containers poses a significant challenge to data persistence, especially during container restarts or migrations across different hosts. This paper proposes a proactive zero-touch management solution for stateful microservices applications, ensuring seamless application lifecycle management. Our solution integrates seamlessly with container platforms such as Kubernetes and supports multi-cluster environments, enhancing fault tolerance and data persistence in stateful applications. The solution has been thoroughly tested on different hardware configurations in the public cloud and with our on-premises servers.

期刊介绍： Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today''s computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms. Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications.
