We’ve all heard about cloud-native applications in recent years, but what about cloud-native infrastructure? Is there any reason why the infrastructure couldn’t be cloud-native, too? Or maybe it’s already cloud-native, but you’ve never had a chance to dive deep into the stack to check it out? What does the term “cloud-native infrastructure” actually even mean?
The more you think about it, the more confusing it gets. We all know that the modern way to build infrastructure is to turn it into a cloud. But then, how can a cloud itself be cloud-native or… native to itself? If this sounds tricky, don’t worry – you’re in the right place. Keep reading to see what happens when the future of infrastructure meets the present.
Cloud-native building blocks
Before we start exploring cloud-native infrastructure, let’s make sure we have a common understanding of the concept of cloud-native itself. According to the official definition maintained by the Cloud Native Computing…
