Cloud-native is a set of practices and principles for developing and running applications in a dynamic, scalable, and efficient cloud environment. It emphasizes microservices, containerization, DevOps, and continuous delivery to optimize modern software systems. Here’s a breakdown of its key aspects:

📌 Core Principles

  1. Containerization 📦
    • Lightweight, portable, and consistent deployment using tools like Docker.
    • Containerization
  2. Microservices Architecture 🧱
    • Decomposes applications into modular, independently deployable services.
    • Microservices
  3. DevOps Integration ⚙️
    • Streamlines development and operations workflows for faster iterations.
    • DevOps

🚀 Advantages of Cloud-Native

  • Scalability 📈
    • Auto-scale resources based on demand.
  • Resilience 💪
    • Built-in fault tolerance and redundancy.
  • Cost Efficiency 💰
