Architecting the Future with Abstractions and Metadata

Read this article, paying attention to each application used in data abstraction. Be able to explain the purpose of each application and summarize holistic configuration. 

Introduction

The modern data center is built on abstractions, with Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift leading the way.

Abstractions and metadata are the future of architecture in systems engineering, as they were before in software engineering. In many languages, there are abstractions and metadata; however, systems engineering has never adopted this view. Systems were always thought of as too unique for any standard abstractions. Now that we've standardized the lower-level abstractions, we're ready to build new system-level abstractions.
