Brilliant, Thomas! Ever since the possibilities of cloud containers and container orchestration convinced me to move from SOA to microservices, I've been struggling to find better ways to explain microservices to the uninitiated. Your article is by far the best effort I've read. I'll be linking to it from my future microservices articles. Thank you.
