At Wiley, managing services on both dedicated and orchestration platforms is the new normal. Ephemeral workloads are making tracking service components exponentially more difficult, and as a result, can be more challenging to tie back to core ITSM processes. Layer on-top a microservice application that may have new repositories generated every week, and it's an even harder challenge to solve.
Wiley designed a system that uses standard tagging practices to auto-register new microservices by parsing an app-config.yaml file in the core of every new repo created. The result is an event-based instant update of any new microservice registrations, with real-time tag-based service maps present for all microservice applications.
