The cloud is defined by five key characteristics from NIST, including on-demand self-service, resource pooling, and rapid elasticity.
Different organizations like CNCF, Google, and AWS define cloud native using concepts like microservices, containers, automation, and managed services.
Cloud-native applications are defined by six key traits including running in dynamic environments, heavy automation, and the use of managed services.
Adopting a cloud-native approach leads to significant benefits such as cost optimization, reduced operational effort, increased deployment speed, and greater innovation.
Cloud native does not strictly require microservices, public cloud, serverless functions, or NoSQL databases, and vendor lock-in can be managed.
Begin your cloud-native journey by packaging applications in containers and implementing a robust, automated build process with comprehensive testing.
Achieve zero-downtime deployments through automation and reduce operational overhead by using managed services for databases, messaging, and API gateways.
Improve application scalability and robustness by externalizing state, managing scheduled jobs, implementing resiliency patterns, and using asynchronous communication.
While concepts like CI/CD and the 12-factor app are not new, the acceleration of digital transformation makes adopting these cloud-native principles essential for modern business.
