Cloud Native Development Practices

Course Summary

The Cloud Native Development Practices course is designed to demonstrate enterprise software development, cloud development and delivery.

 

The course begins with an overview of cloud computing delivery models and comparison to traditional software delivery systems. Next, it explores the four major elements of a Cloud Native development approach: DevOps, Microservices, Continuous Delivery, and Containers. Finally, the course concludes by examining the best practices for migration from a software ecosystem that uses on-premises or hybrid on-prem/cloud infrastructure and delivery to a Cloud Native ecosystem.
