Cloud Native Computing
Cloud Native Computing involves developing applications as a collection of loosely coupled and independently deployable microservices, packaged in containers, and dynamically orchestrated to optimize resource utilization.
Cloud Native computing and DevOps share common goals of accelerating software delivery, improving scalability, and enhancing reliability.

Global Scale Performance
Cloud native applications are built from the ground up, optimized for cloud scale and performance.
By integrating Cloud Native principles with DevOps practices, organizations can achieve faster time-to-market, better resource utilization, and increased agility.
Cloud Native Computing takes the principles of DevOps a step further by leveraging cloud technologies and architectures to enable organizations to build and deploy applications at scale, and improves DevOps performance in several ways:
- Streamlined Deployment: With containerization and dynamic orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, deploying applications becomes more automated and repeatable, speeding the deployment process and optimizing resource allocation.
- Microservices Architecture: Microservices Architecture offers a powerful framework for accelerating software development by breaking down complex applications into smaller, manageable components.
- Enhanced Collaboration: By adopting shared tools and practices, such as infrastructure as code and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), teams can work together more efficiently.
In many cases adopting a Cloud Native approach is achieved through a process of Application Modernization. This can feature containerization of apps through a full re-engineering to a microservices architecture.
