Microservices architecture is a software development approach where an application is built as a collection of small, loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and operates as an autonomous unit, communicating with other services through well-defined APIs. This architectural style is often used in the context of DevOps to create more efficient, scalable, and manageable systems.

In the realm of virtualisation and cloud computing, the hypervisor is a critical component that enables the seamless operation of multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single host.

In this beginner’s guide, we will explore the fundamentals of hypervisors, their types, and how they differ from container runtimes. We will also review some of the leading hypervisors available today.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) have been around for decades, but although the concept emerged as far back as the 1940s, it wasn’t until the early 2000s and the efforts of eBay, Salesforce, and Amazon that really put them on the map. APIs today are ubiquitous - any company developing software will likely have an API for customers and partners - and research suggests the majority of enterprises consuming APIs are focused on strategies for easier consumption and management of APIs.
