Understanding Cloud Native and Kubernetes

A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Cloud Architecture

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Key Components of Kubernetes

  • Containers and Pods: Basic units that package applications and their dependencies
  • Clusters: Groups of machines that run containerized applications
  • Control Plane: Manages the cluster and orchestrates container deployment

Understanding Cloud Native

Cloud Native refers to building and running applications that fully exploit the advantages of the cloud computing model, emphasizing scalability, flexibility, and automation.

Core Principles of Cloud Native

Microservices

Breaking applications into small, independent services

Containers

Packaging applications with their dependencies

DevOps

Continuous integration and delivery practices

Automation

Automated scaling and recovery processes

Why Adopt Cloud Native?
