Aricent on re-architecting towards ‘application elasticity’
Summary
The Computer Weekly Developer Network talks to Aricent’s AVP of technology and innovation Shamik Mishra in line with a mini-series of posts related to the rise of what we have called the ‘holistic’ application. Not perhaps a formally defined technology industry term, the holistic application is an app that has arisen in the age of cloud with containerisation, microservices and compartmentalisation of discrete components at its core. CW: Is authentication a key management factor in enabling secure device and user identity to interplay inside the new world of modular and continuous software? Machine Learning will drive service pricing, fraud detection, maintain infrastructure for microservices, software testing (just-enough-testing for changes), root cause analysis, act on monitoring data autonomously, etc. Machine Learning will also impact the full maturity model of the architecture i.e. measure, diagnose, predict, optimise, alert and automate orchestration and management of services.
