Systems and methods for deploying microservices in a networked microservices system

A system comprising:

• a host machine comprising a memory and a processor core, the processor core to execute a hypervisor to create and run guest machines, and a plurality of guest machines having been created by the hypervisor, wherein the hypervisor is further to perform a process comprising:
• receiving a request to instantiate a microservice;
• selecting a suitable virtual machine by calculating the suitability of the virtual machine based on a server property value and a server property weight;
• deploying the microservice on the selected virtual machine;
• configuring the microservice to communicate with an interface microservice;
• and
• configuring the microservice to perform security processing on packets processed within a security service.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when performed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a request to instantiate a microservice;
• selecting a suitable virtual machine, wherein the selecting comprises calculating the suitability of the virtual machine based on a server property value and a server property weight;
• deploying the microservice on the selected virtual machine;
• configuring the microservice to communicate with an interface microservice;
• and
• configuring the microservice to perform security processing on packets processed within a security service.
