Service instance per container

Intent

Package each service instance as a container for consistent build/run/deploy behavior.

Use when

• You want predictable environments and standardized deployment tooling.
• You use an orchestrator (Kubernetes, ECS, Nomad) that manages scheduling and health.

Avoid / watch-outs

• Containers are not full isolation; still define resource limits and security boundaries.
• Ensure image supply-chain hygiene and consistent base images/tooling.

Skill mapping

• platform: service template/chassis that bakes in health/telemetry defaults.
• security: image/dependency hygiene and secrets handling.
• observability: standard labels/fields for container metadata and version markers.
