The thesis presents a systematization and analysis of multidimensional efficiency metrics for microservices in cloud environments. Technical, economic, and environmental aspects of efficiency, their interrelationships, and trade-offs are examined. A conceptual multi-level model for efficiency assessment is proposed, along with approaches to multi-objective resource optimization. Special attention is paid to modeling a decision-making system that considers conflicting optimization goals at different architecture levels – from an individual microservice to data center infrastructure.
