Architecting Cloud Native Applications

By: Kamal Arora, Erik Farr, John Gilbert, Piyum Zonooz

Overview of this book

Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. This Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know for designing industry-grade cloud applications and efficiently migrating your business to the cloud. It begins by exploring the basic patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability. You’ll learn how to develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as your design principles. Then, you’ll explore ways to continuously deliver production code by implementing continuous observability in production. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform, and understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices by John Gilbert • Cloud Native Architectures by Erik Farr et al.

Automation in the Google Cloud Platform (CNMM Axis-3)


As discussed in previous chapters as well, automation is one of the key aspects when looking at optimally deploying and managing your applications in cloud. So in line with this, Google Cloud apart from offering many services which help automate processes and workflows, also has a rich set of APIs and SDKs. In fact, based on developer's individual preferences there are multiple options for SDK client libraries, including Java, Python, NodeJS, Ruby, Go, .Net and PHP, that provide flexibility and ease of automation and integration. So in the upcoming section, let's explore this further and look at various options for automation and DevOps implementations.

Infrastructure as code

Google Cloud offers a service that is very similar to AWS CloudFormation, called Google Cloud Deployment Manager, using which infrastructure components can be easily authored in a declarative fashion (YAML) to automate various provisioning and automation-related tasks...
