Announcement
NIST requests public comments on Draft SP 800-180, NIST Definition of Microservices, Application Containers and System Virtual Machines. This document serves to provide a NIST-standard definition to application containers, microservices which reside in application containers and system virtual machines. Furthermore, this document explains the similarities and differences between a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservices as well as the similarities and differences between System Virtual Machines and Application Containers.
Many variations and definitions of application containers exist in industry, causing considerable confusion amongst those who attempt to explain what a container is. This document serves to provide a NIST-standard definition to application containers, microservices which reside in application containers and operating system virtual machines. Furthermore, this document explains the similarities and differences between a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservices as well as the similarities and differences between Operating System Virtual Machines and Application Containers.
