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.

Chapter 17. What's Next? Cloud Native Application Architecture Trends

In the previous chapters, we learned about multiple different aspects, starting from the core definition of the Cloud Native Maturity Model (CNMM), then peeling back different layers, and finally trying out various cloud providers hands-on. In this chapter, we are going to focus on a bunch of newer things, including looking at the future and talking about a few predictions!

Here are some of the areas we will focus on:

  • Top seven predictions for the next three years – what to expect in terms of the evolution of cloud native architectures
  • The future of enterprises on the cloud
  • New IT roles that will possibly evolve (such as an AI Officer)

These topics will help you learn the following skills:

  • Understanding the trends to future-proof your strategies and architectures
  • Areas of growth and evolution in your personal career

So, let's dive right in!
