In the last two decades the cloud has gained a lot of importance, indeed the current trend is to engineer the new web applications to be cloud native, thus to be split up in loosely-coupled micro-services, each one containerized and deployed as a part of a bigger application. The use of containers allows to cut oneself off the hosting physical hardware and operating system, letting to focus on the main purposes of a web application: to be widespread and high-available. The cloud allows to achieve this goal, by gathering the infrastructure control under the cloud provider tenants and implementing the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) paradigms: the computational, networking and storage resources are provided on demand to the cloud provider's customers as if they were services.
