This document discusses how to deploy Elastic Java EE microservices in the cloud using Docker. It describes creating a simple RESTful microservice using JAX-RS and JCache that is packaged into a Docker container. The Docker container is then deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, which automatically handles scaling the microservice across multiple containers behind a load balancer. The overall goal is to show how to quickly develop, package, test, and deploy microservices to the cloud using lightweight Java EE technologies like Payara Micro, Docker, and Elastic Beanstalk.
