Agile, efficient, future-proof \u2013 these are buzzwords that will get the hearts of any DevOps<\/a> team racing. Fact is, without cloud-native development and building platforms designed in and for the cloud, the resting pulse among developers and users will hardly increase. Innovation and advancement is hard to imagine without cloud-native technologies<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Cloud-native?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) defines cloud-native<\/a> as a technology that enables organizations to run scalable applications in a modern and dynamic cloud environment. This environment can be a public, private or hybrid on-premises cloud solution. A cloud-native application is thereby a collection of different, independent technology services such as containers, service meshes, microservices and declarative APIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These technological building blocks create agile software solutions<\/strong> that are developed and operated entirely in the cloud. Cloud-native thus describes the form in which applications are created and deployed, not the place of creation. However, the decisive factor in the cloud-native approach is not only the technology. It is also about the associated added value in user experience<\/strong> and value creation<\/strong>. And, in a broader sense, it is about an organizational and also cultural shift in dealing with digital business models<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing potential<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If an application is set up from scratch today, the cloud-native approach should be a given. Even if it is initially used on-premises. This is the only way to enable a later switch to the cloud. And only there the benefits of cloud computing<\/strong> can be fully utilized. But what about existing systems that were still coded according to \u201cnormal\u201d standards? The question of whether a change to a cloud-native platform is required presents itself above all in the case of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
