Cloud-native Computing Fundamentals
A Cloud-native philosophy can foster innovation, agility, and scalability within an organization. This foundational cloud-native computing path aims to delineate the practices, methodologies, and technologies constituting a cloud-native approach and articulate its superiority over conventional lift-and-shift or on-premises paradigms.
- 1. How Cloud-native architectures promote faster innovation cycles and scalability through microservices and containerization.
- 2. The importance of a DevOps-driven approach for continuous integration and delivery in cloud-native environments.
- 3. Why effective cloud-native security requires understanding the shared responsibility model and applying best practices for identity, access, and data protection
- The learner taking this path possesses a foundational understanding of cloud technology but lacks significant technical expertise. However, they should have a general working knowledge of IT development and operations processes. While learners are expected to be familiar with typical IT workflows, a high-level review of common IT challenges outside of cloud may be beneficial for contextualizing cloud-native concepts.
- Upon completion of this path, learners should be proficient in articulating the concept of cloud-native computing, assessing the advantages and drawbacks of adopting a cloud-native approach, identifying common risks associated with transitioning to such a model, and implementing strategies to mitigate these risks effectively.
