Abstract

Example methods and systems are directed to providing an abstraction layer to deployed applications, so that the applications can concentrate on building their domain-specific functionality and not have to worry about scalability. In an example embodiment, Kubernetes is used as a form of distributed operating system that the system controls on one side and that is deployed on the other side. It works as an abstraction for the end-users to be able to scale applications and persistent data for various tenants, route requests to correct applications, maintain metadata, and monitor the cluster.
