You're asked to build more changeable, available, scalable, and secure software. While cloud platforms make some of those characteristics easier to achieve, it's more about how you build software, not where you run it. In this course, Cloud-native Architecture: The Big Picture, you'll learn what it means to be cloud-native. First, you'll look at the core principles behind cloud-native software. Next, you'll dive into the key patterns that help us create better software. Finally, you'll review enabling technologies that realize those patterns. When you're finished with this course, you'll have a strong understanding of what you need to do in order to start building cloud-native software.
Course FAQ
Cloud native is a method of building and running scalable applications through the flexibility and resiliency of the cloud computing delivery model. Cloud native enables developers to make more frequent, powerful changes, without excessive effort.
Cloud-native architecture is more about how you build software, not where you run it. It is a design methodology whose focus is on how to optimize system architectures based on the distinct capabilities of the cloud.
This cloud-native architecture course will teach you how to build scalable, changeable, resilient, and manageable software. Some covered topics include:
- The principles of cloud-native architecture
- The patterns of cloud-native architecture
- The technologies of cloud-natvie architecture
Anyone who wants a high-level understanding of cloud-native architecture should take this course. If you want to learn the core principles, patterns, and technologies to build more better software, then this is the course for you.
This is a beginner level course which assumes no prior cloud-native architecture knowledge. You should be familiar with major cloud platforms and technologies.

Course Overview
Hey everyone. My name is Richard Seroter, and welcome to my course, Cloud-native Architecture: The Big Picture. I'm a senior director of product at Pivotal, an 11-time Microsoft MVP, and lead editor for the cloud topic at infoq. com. If you're an established company that isn't all in on the public cloud, and honestly, few are, does that mean you can't be a cloud native? Nope. In this course, we're going to debunk that myth and show that cloud native is about how, not where. Some of the major things we're going to include are the core principles behind the ideas of cloud native and how industry leaders define it. We're going to look at the application, infrastructure, deployment, and team-driven patterns that represent cloud-native ideals. And then we'll review the technologies that cloud natives use to deliver better software. By the end of this course, you'll know what it means to be a cloud, and more importantly, what ideas you can start incorporating today to build and operate software that matters. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn what it means to be cloud native with this big picture course, at Pluralsight.
