Abstract

MICADO, the near-infrared Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations and designated ELT first-light instrument, will require dedicated software tools for observation preparation. In this context, the European Southern Observatory is currently employing a uniform and distributed architecture, which expects business logic to be provided as microservices on an ESO host. This particularly applies to the MICADO-specific features, too: Automatic guide star selection, AO performance calculation, and telescope offset permissibility checks are first candidates for a microservice implementation here. We present our approach of adapting MICADO tasks to ESO's distributed architecture and share our view on the new paradigm in general.
