Facts about Cloud-Native Architecture
- 05
Declarative configuration, a central practice in cloud-native architecture, allows developers to specify the desired state of a system and let automated tooling reconcile the actual state to match it.
- 04
Immutable infrastructure is a key principle of cloud-native architecture, where running servers are never modified but instead replaced with updated versions.
- 03
Containers are a foundational building block of cloud-native architecture, enabling applications to run consistently across different computing environments by packaging code with its dependencies.
- 02
Microservices, a core pattern in cloud-native architecture, decompose applications into small independent services that communicate over APIs rather than shared memory.
- 01
The CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) was founded in 2015 to foster the adoption of cloud-native architecture and related open-source technologies.
