  • Microservices
  • Containers and orchestration
  • DevOps
  • Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)

We will discuss each of these features in more detail in this chapter, but you have to realize we can only scratch the surface here. Each of them deserves a book in its own right, and in fact, you can find books from Packt Publishing on these subjects.

Microservices

While it is not a requirement to run microservices in the cloud, most cloud-native applications are in fact microservices. We have already come across the term microservices in the book a few times, but let’s look at a definition first.
