Why Cloud Native Applications?
Cloud-Native Applications (CNA) are applications that are built with the latest programming languages and tools that utilize the cloud as a platform. These applications are built on a microservices architecture and are designed to be highly scalable, secure, and elastic. The advantage of adopting CNA is that it promotes a faster time to market and makes it easier for developers to test and deploy their code.
three main steps to implementing a cloud-native Application
migration
Migrate existing applications to the cloud.
modernization
modernizing existing applications to meet their business requirements
orchestration
working with the applications to connect them to the cloud.
Building Blocks of Cloud Native Applications Development
Microservices
Microservices are core building block to move to the cloud by arranging an application into multiple, independent services
DevOps
DevOps provides automation between development and operations teams to boost cloud application collaboration.
Container
Using container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and DevOps to build and deploy containerized applications in cloud
CI / CD
Cloud-native applications have integrated CI/CD processes to build and deploy the app and manage its cloud resources.
