PRACTICE
Cloud native
Systems designed around managed infrastructure, repeatable delivery and observable runtime boundaries.
DEFINITION
Cloud native definition
Cloud native describes systems built to use programmable infrastructure, managed services and repeatable deployment practices. It is an operating model rather than a requirement to split every application into small services.
WHY IT MATTERS NOW
The current operating pressure
Managed platforms can shorten delivery cycles, but cost, identity and failure boundaries still need deliberate design. The practical task is to choose what the platform should own and what the product team must continue to control.
WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT
Work connected to Cloud native
Cloud and DevOps
Accounts, environments, infrastructure as code and a deploy path that behaves the same every time.
Legacy modernization
A route off the system nobody wants to touch, taken in increments rather than a rewrite.
