Cloud Native Architectures

By: Tom Laszewski, Kamal Arora, Erik Farr, 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. To harness this, businesses need to refresh their development models and architectures when they find they don’t port to the cloud. Cloud Native Architectures demonstrates three essential components of deploying modern cloud native architectures: organizational transformation, deployment modernization, and cloud native architecture patterns. This book starts with a quick introduction to cloud native architectures that are used as a base to define and explain what cloud native architecture is and is not. You will learn what a cloud adoption framework looks like and develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as design principles. You’ll then explore the major pillars of cloud native design including scalability, cost optimization, security, and ways to achieve operational excellence. In the concluding chapters, you will also learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform. By the end of this book, you will have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. You will also understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers.

Development frameworks and approaches


There are many frameworks and approaches taken to design horizontal scalable applications in the cloud. Due to the nature of each of the cloud providers, each has their own specific services and frameworks that work best. In Chapter 9, Amazon Web Services, a comprehensive outline of doing this with AWS can be found. In Chapter 10, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Azure's approach is detailed. Chapter 11, Google Cloud Platform, breaks down the patterns and frameworks that work best for that cloud. Each of these are similar, yet different, and will be implemented differently by each customer design teams.
