# Security in Cloud-Native Services: A Survey
###### Abstract
* It serves as a uniquely structured mapping study that maps the key aspects of security in cloud-native services to the corresponding features, and these features to numerous contemporary solutions. * It includes the identification of various candidate open-source technologies that are capable of supporting the realization of each explored solution. * It showcases how these solutions can work together in order to establish each corresponding feature. Figure 1: A systematic mapping process that involves key aspects, features, and solutions for security in cloud-native services. Key aspects are colored green, features are colored blue, and solutions are colored red for illustration purposes. \begin{table}
