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 Azure (CNMM Axis-3)


The entire concept of the public cloud is based on the premise that you can easily utilize and integrate the cloud services using APIs, SDKs, and REST web services. Another layer to this paradigm is the higher-level automation and orchestration services that cloud providers have created, which make it even easier to leverage the true power of cloud with less human intervention and thereby enable self-healing, autoscalable applications. Apart from this, developers can now assume greater responsibility to manage the full stack of their application environment on their own rather than have a separate ops team that they had to rely on earlier. This enables rapid releases, faster time to market, and increased agility in the application development lifecycle. As we discussed in the previous chapter, AWS offers services such as Amazon CloudFormation, AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and AWS CodeDeploy to enable these practices and culture, so in a very similar...
