Cloud Computing based Monolithic to Containerization using Elastic Container Service for Phylogenetic Analysis

Tremendous growth in Biotechnology field and the newer inventions have posed a lot of challenges to the technology domain which replicates the Demand-Supply model. The Phylogenetic analysis process involves analysing the sequences and building various forms of trees which depicts the evolutionary relationship among the organisms of interest. This process involves functioning of pipeline of tools related to Phylogenetics, various methods and models are in use which uses monolithic architecture which is a traditional unified model method. The monolithic model building has a cognitive complexity code base and scalability is a major drawback, which can be addressed by application containerization technology. Containerization is an application virtualization technology implemented at Operating System level. In this approach distributed applications can be deployed and executed by sharing resources of virtual or physical machine(s) with other containerised applications. This paper proposes a containerization model against the existing monolithic model specific to Phylogenetics. Further it also gives insight on deploying containerization applications on public cloud (AWS) using Elastic Container Service.
