Microservice Architecture acts as an essential enabler to achieve a DevOps model by distributing an application into multiple deployable services. Microservices work as autonomous applications, decoupled from each other, and can be built, scaled, and deployed independently. Each service API and network layer expose susceptible entry points to potential attack vectors. With extensive usage of third-party unpatched libraries within each of those containers, implementing a security strategy gets complicated, thereby increasing overall risk. Monitoring of microservices is considered as a critical aspect in maintaining security within a microservice framework.
