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.

Cloud services


Cloud providers have a lot of services, and innovation is accelerating; therefore, understanding how to choose the right service to solve business problems can be a tough prospect. The large cloud providers have designed their services to be like building blocks that can be used together to solve problems that may never have been considered for that specific service. This approach allows customer design teams to be creative and think outside the box with experimentation and fail fast projects. The key is to have a good understanding of what services are actually available. Foundational infrastructure services, once the growth drivers of the cloud, have matured to a state where they are often decided on by default. Setting up landing zones with specific networking addresses, subnets, security groups, and routes is done with Infrastructure as Code, using a consistent and approved model. However, there are still some important foundational considerations, specifically regarding...
