Understanding Cloud Native Architectures

With this chapter, we are moving on to explore further aspects of Cloud Native in more detail. We will see which concepts are a part of Cloud Native and what is the architecture of Cloud Native, talk about resiliency and autoscaling, and get to know some of the best practices. This chapter covers further requirements of the Cloud Native Architecture domain of the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) exam, which makes up a total of 16% of questions.

This chapter has no practical part, so we won’t perform any hands-on exercises, but it is still very important to understand it in order to pass the KCNA exam and advance in the field. We will focus on the following topics:

  • Cloud Native architectures
  • Resiliency and autoscaling
  • Serverless
  • Cloud Native best practices
