Beyond Containers: Orchestrating Microservices with Minikube, Kubernetes, Docker, and Compose for Seamless Deployment and Scalability

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the orchestration of microservices using Minikube, Kubernetes, Docker, and Docker Compose. We discuss how these technologies enable seamless deployment and scalability of microservices architectures. Through practical examples and insights, we demonstrate the benefits of utilizing these tools in modern software development. By leveraging Minikube for local Kubernetes environments and Docker for containerization, developers can streamline their development workflow and enhance the efficiency of their deployments. Additionally, Docker Compose facilitates the management of multi-container applications, further simplifying the orchestration process. Our exploration showcases the power of these tools in enabling flexible, scalable, and resilient microservices architectures.
