Problem Set B

1 .
Convert a monolithic application of your choice to microservices.
2 .
Demonstrate practically how Chaos Monkey is used to test a cloud-native application of your choice. Follow the Chaos Monkey setup tutorial and refer to the Chaos Monkey documentation to solve this question.
3 .
Explain how IaC is used in a practical cloud-native application development context.
4 .
Deploy a simple cloud-native application using VMWare Tanzu. Document your steps and compare them to the steps you took earlier to deploy a simple application using PaaS without VMWare Tanzu in an earlier question.
5 .
Obtain the code of the back-end implementation (in Python) of this RESTful microservice for an order resource. Deploy this cloud-native application on a public cloud of your choice (i.e., either AWS, GCP, IBM Cloud, or Microsoft Azure).
6 .
Follow this IBM tutorial to gain an understanding of how Kubernetes clusters work by debugging and logging applications deployed in Kubernetes.
7 .
Microservices often utilize message streaming and brokers to share data in real time across the system. Research and explain the basic operations of such tools and how they can be used in microservices applications.
