Cloud native architectures have matured over the years as the patterns evolve to take advantage of the newest advances in cloud technologies. Microservices are currently the hot topic for architecture trends since they allow for massive decoupling of components while utilizing cloud native services in ways that would be impossible with on-premises software. However, microservices are just a pattern. There are multiple ways to construct a microservice with various technologies and approaches, and containers and serverless approaches are the most common. This is not to say that microservice systems cannot be designed with more traditional virtual instances; in the right use case, that is still very applicable. What it means is that containers and serverless technologies allow for systems to be designed and deployed at scale and with agility that typically comes with microservices. They are more aligned with the goals of microservices. This section will explore containers...

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.
