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.

Chapter 6. Deployment

In Chapter 1, Understanding Cloud Native Concepts, we discussed the promise of cloud-native and the cloud-native concepts that help deliver on those promises. Cloud-native enables companies to rapidly and continuously deliver innovation with the confidence that the system will stay stable despite the rate of change and scale to meet demand. Then we took a deep dive into the architectural aspects of cloud-native systems, starting with the anatomy of cloud-native systems and continuing through the foundation, boundary, and control patterns. We focused heavily on how to create bounded, isolated components that are responsive, resilient, elastic, and message-driven.

Now we turn our attention to the human factors of cloud-native. We will delve into the best practices and methods that empower self-sufficient, full-stack teams, drive cultural change, and comprise the cloud-native product delivery pipeline. We will continuously deploy, test, monitor, and secure our bounded isolated...
