Abstract—This paper posits the need for an integrated micro
services framework for handling all business and student services
at our local University. We present the research question, "to
what extent do the functionalities of the micro service
frameworks provide beneficial considerations for the
implementation of a micro service system within the University
campus environment?" We discuss the response to this question
regarding using a use case implementation now in progress from
our enterprise systems solution - ISAS (Integrated Student
Assessment System). The assumption is to implement functional
micro-services to support our student and staff environments like
never before. As such, the pivot from traditionally monolithic
legacy systems to one that is component-based and service-driven
is urgently necessary to allow our University to support all its
application layered services continuously. The adaption of
scalable micro services architectures focuses on Universities like
ours to keep delivering a sustainable virtual presence. We use the
summary perspectives presented in this paper to inform other
institutions seeking to make these changes part of driving
workable virtualized infrastructure, both containerized and
serverless in design.
