Preface
The goal of this guide is to provide you with an understanding of the main changes and additions done to the SkyFormation platform and delivered in the new 2.4.x major releases.
- Moving to Microservices architecture
To improve the platform's performance, density, future scalability and upgradability
the platform core services have been broken into independent microservices.
Some microservices to note are:
- Health reporter
- SIEM consumer
- Console
- Open API
- Tasks manager
- Event bus
- Cloud connectors
The microservices service is based on the Dropwizard using embedded new Eclipse Jetty
web server.
Adding a new service for centralized and distributed configuration management
based on Apache Zookeeper
- New events bus
Adding a new events bus to the platform based on Apache Kafka
- Additional/replaced docker images
