The document discusses cloud native applications and provides an overview of key concepts like containers, microservices, platforms, and CI/CD. It summarizes different types of cloud platforms like CaaS, PaaS, and FaaS and provides demo videos showing how to deploy applications and functions using these platforms. The document argues that cloud native applications provide business benefits like improved efficiency and productivity. It suggests that while companies have different options for packaging workloads, they need the right platform and abstractions to make developing cloud native applications easier.

CLOUD NATIVE APPLICATIONS
“Applications that do not require resilient infrastructure”
*SOURCE: “Cloud Native Infrastructure” Justin Garrison and Kris Nova
Fundamentally, cloud native
means the applications are
designed to be managed by
software, not humans
Cloud native infrastructure is infrastructure that
is hidden behind useful abstractions, controlled
by APIs, managed by software and with the
purpose of runnning applications

WRAP UP
• Cloud Native Apps are viable today thanks to
• People/processes changes
• Tech
• Enterprises are doing Cloud Native Apps for business
reasons (yep I know that tech is cool per se ;) )
• You need the right platform to make Cloud Native Apps
easier
• In the end it is all about providing different abstractions for
different workloads (CaaS/PaaS/FaaS)
