Experience

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.
