Abstract
A system and method is provided for unifying and deploying a microservice-based application platform that includes multiple independent service containers. An exemplary method includes analyzing, on a hardware node, infrastructure services to identify those infrastructure services that are configurable to be launched as microservices; configuring the identified infrastructure services to be launched as microservices by creating an image of an infrastructure microservice container for each identified infrastructure services; building an application platform by defining a minimum set of the infrastructure microservice containers required by the application platform to provide the one or more client microservice; and unifying management of the infrastructure microservice containers and the client microservices of the application platform by classifying each of the created infrastructure microservice containers and the client microservice container to be managed by a single management software layer.
