The purpose of this article is to share with you what Cloud Native refers to. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Cloud Native (Cloud Native) is an application development model that gives priority to cloud architecture. At present, more and more enterprises have begun to embrace the cloud on a large scale, developing applications, deploying applications and releasing applications in the cloud environment. In the future, more and more developers will use Cloud Native to develop applications.

So why is Cloud Native mode becoming more and more popular? What's the difference between Cloud Native and microservices? When did you choose to use Cloud Native? Wait, these questions will be answered one by one below.

What is Cloud Native?

Cloud Native (translated as "Cloud Origin" in China) was first put forward by Matt Stine. Like micro-services, Cloud Native is not a specific technology, but a collection of ideas, including DevOps, continuous delivery (Continuous Delivery), micro-services (MicroServices), agile infrastructure (Agile Infrastructure), Conway's law (Conways Law), and reorganizing the company according to business capabilities. Cloud Native includes both technology (microservices, agile infrastructure) and management (DevOps, continuous delivery, Conway's Law, reorganization, etc.). Therefore, Cloud Native can also be said to be a collection of a series of Cloud technologies and enterprise management methods.

Cloud Native has the following features:

Take the cloud as the infrastructure

Cloud servic

No servic

Scalable

High availability

Agile

Cloud first

The following figure shows the Cloud Native cloud architecture patterns listed in the book principles and practices of Cloud Native distributed Architecture. It can be seen that the Cloud Native system is very complex.

With the continuous development of cloud computing, enterprises begin to adopt infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) services, and use them to build applications that take advantage of the elasticity and scalability of the cloud, and can also meet the fault tolerance of the cloud environment. At the same time, the cloud environment is cheaper and more economical, so in the future, the cloud environment will be the first choice for enterprise deployment and personal development. The emergence of Cloud Native is timely, and its architecture can guide enterprises or individuals to easily achieve cloud application development or cloud deployment.

The relationship between Cloud Native and Micro Services

In the article "A brief introduction to Microservices (Micro Services)", the concept of micro services has been briefly discussed.

The essence of micro-service architecture style is to split large applications into small services (micro-services). Microservices are in the form of a single application, so they can be deployed and run independently in their own processes. Micro-services generally use a lightweight mechanism to communicate (usually HTTP resource API), so there is no limit to the technology stack. Micro-services are built around business capabilities, so they focus more on business capabilities, can grasp domain boundaries and place the spread of demand. Because of its inherent characteristics, micro-services are easy to deploy independently through fully automated deployment tools, so they are very suitable for deployment in cloud environments.

In Cloud Native, microservices tend to be used to build applications. At the same time, because Cloud Native gives priority to cloud environment, it is very suitable for the deployment and management of micro-services.

At present, there are many mature solutions for micro-services in the industry, such as Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and so on, which can simplify the development of micro-services. In terms of microservices, the author has also written a series of free tutorials (https://waylau.com/books/), which readers can use as a reference.

Why do we need to use Cloud Native?

The first wave of cloud computing is about cost savings and business agility, especially when cloud computing infrastructure is cheaper.

Many enterprises tend to use micro-service architecture to develop applications. The development of micro-service is rapid, the responsibility is single, and it can be adopted by customers more quickly. At the same time, these applications can evolve and win the recognition of customers through rapid iteration. Cloud Native can open up the whole process of microservice development, testing, deployment and release.

In order to cater to the market, cloud providers provide API that meets various scenarios, such as Google Maps for positioning, authentication platform for social collaboration, and so on. Mixing all of these API with the features and functions of the enterprise business allows them to build unique solutions for their customers. All of these integrations are done at the API level. This means that both mobile and traditional desktop applications can be seamlessly integrated. Therefore, the applications developed with Cloud Native are highly scalable.

It is impossible for the software not to break down. Traditional enterprise-level development requires full-time personnel to monitor and maintain enterprise applications. Under the Cloud Native architecture, the underlying services or API will be deployed to the cloud, which is equivalent to transferring the heavy operation and maintenance work to the cloud platform provider. This means that customer applications will be more professional care, at the same time, but also save the cost of operation and maintenance.

Therefore, cloud is the trend of the times. Come and hug Cloud Native!

This is what Cloud Native refers to. The editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
