Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of security and privacy challenges specific to microservices and cloud environments, identifying gaps and future research directions.

Findings

Microservices introduce unique security vulnerabilities.

Privacy concerns are critical in distributed microservice environments.

Ongoing research aims to mitigate security and privacy risks.

Abstract

Security issues in processor architectures remain really critical since users and devices continue to share computing as well as networking resources. So, preserving data privacy in such an environment is really a critical concern. We know that there is a continuous growth in security and privacy issues that need to be addressed. Here, we have chosen a microservice architecture, which is a small or even an independent microprocess that interacts, acts, and responds to messages via lightweight technologies such as Thrift, HTTP, or REST API.
