Cloud Native

"Ship Faster, Reduce Risk and Costs, Grow Your Business."

Cloud Native; a new paradigm

Cloud Native is the collective term for the new insight for designing, developing and managing applications. The Cloud Native approach leads to accelerated time-to-market and higher scalability and efficiency.
Cloud Native is about how applications are developed, not where!

Organizations need a platform that makes all this possible. From a technical perspective, there are legions of ways to go "Cloud Native," but now there are standards developed in the market such as Docker and Kubernetes that are Containerization and Orchestration enable.

There is a lot of different tooling, but now the market has matured and Kubernetes has become the standard for managing and orchestrating application containers.

About Kubernetes

In a short time, Kubernetes (K8s), Greek for mate or pilot, has become the most popular platform for deploying, controlling and managing application containers over networks.

Kubernetes originated from Google's Borg project (2003) to manage containers. This cluster management system was succeeded by project Omega in 2013; a more flexible and scalable system. In 2014, Google released it on GitHub and in 2015 the first release of Kubernetes followed and it is the main "graduated project" of the Cloud Native Computer Foundation.

Kubernetes has since been embraced by all the major players in the market such as Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Oracle, RedHat and Docker, and thousands of developers and ops engineers are working on it worldwide.

Kubernetes is (Cloud) platform independent and has been introduced into IT environments since 2016.

 

"An IT infrastructure built on containers and orchestrated with Kubernetes is extremely powerful, scalable, redundant and efficient."

VMs are old-school. At least they cost (too) much computing power when running more instances and are therefore expensive. Containers have been the solution to this problem since the introduction of Docker; efficiency and scalability are the key words here. However, how to manage all those containers. This is where Kubernetes comes in.
