OP3: Microreboot (feedback)
The lectures on redundancy (weeks 9 and 10) explored ideas that can all be used to make a system microrebootable, as per discussion in the Redundancy lecture. For your OP, consider the microservices architecture. Identify what it means to recover via microreboot a microservices-based system, which elements of the architecture make it amenable to recovery via microreboot (and why), and which elements would need to change (and how) in order to make it fully microrebootable.
A good OP should take a clear position, support it with solid, technical arguments, and be clearly written, devoid of redundancy.
You can use a maximum of 500 words for the body of your writeup. OPs require in-depth consideration of the assigned materials, along with good technical writing. Spellcheck. Your submission must be in PDF format and consist of one single-spaced A4 page, including all figures, tables, and references. References should have complete citations at the bottom of the OP, which in turn should be hyperlinked to online versions of the cited materials, whenever possible. The OP should be a single column and use Times Roman (or equivalent serif) font with 10-point type or greater. The title and references do not count toward the 500-word limit. Submit your OP through Moodle by the indicated due date and time. The submission’s title must be of the form “OPn: Title”, where n is the single-digit number of the OP, e.g., “OP3: Microreboot” for this week’s OP. Do not write your name anywhere on the OP, to enable blind grading!
You are not allowed to discuss the topic of the OP with anyone else until after the submission deadline. The OP must be 100% your own work.
