CLOUD NATIVE APPLICATIONS
“Applications that do not require resilient infrastructure”

HOW DO THE TERMS FIT IN YOUR LIFE-CYCLE?

MANAGE DEPLOY DESIGN

RESULTING IN NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR IT
TO DEPLOY AND DELIVER APPLICATIONS RELIABLY, AT SCALE

CLOUD NATIVE PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS
• Programmability
(“Infrastructure As Code”) SELF SERVICE | POLYGLOT LANGUAGE
AUTO SCALING | CONTAINER MANAGEMENT
• Elasticity (Which Demands
A Scale-Out Architecture)
• Economics (Steers Towards
Standard Servers +
Software)
SELF HEALING | MULTI-CLOUD SUPPORT
• Strong Instrumentation INTEGRATED LOGGING

And Telemetry Of APPLICATION PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

AN APP STORY… IN MICROSERVICES

A Honeypot is a computer security

Visualization Layer mechanism set to detect, deflect, or, in some
manner, counteract attempts at unauthorized
use of information systems

Geolocation Honeypots Honeypot #1

TWO TYPES OF CLOUD NATIVE PLATFORMS
ASSEMBLED PRESCRIPTIVE
UNSTRUCTURED STRUCTURED

Ultra-Flexible Standardized
Multiple Configurations Built-in Availability and Security
Platform = Core Competency Automate & Simplify Operations
Few Applications Many Applications

RECAP / CLOSING COMMENTS
◊ Clear and Solid Business Needs for
Cloud Native Apps
◊ Many Tech/options to choose from
◊ Structured approach offers many
advantages
◊ Purpose built and
Simplified Infrastructure
can definitely help
