Introduction to Cloud Native
Cloud native development represents a fundamental shift in how we build and deploy applications, emphasizing scalability, resilience, and automation from the ground up.
Core Concepts
Containerization
- Docker fundamentals
- Container orchestration
- Image optimization
- Security best practices
Microservices
- Service decomposition
- API design patterns
- Service mesh
- Data consistency
DevOps Practices
- CI/CD pipelines
- Infrastructure as Code
- Monitoring & logging
- Automated testing
Implementation Guide
1. Container Strategy
services:
auth-service:
port: 3001
dependencies:
- user-db
user-service:
port: 3002
dependencies:
- user-db
product-service:
port: 3003
dependencies:
- product-db
2. Kubernetes Deployment
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: myapp
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: myapp
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: myapp
spec:
containers:
- name: myapp
image: myapp:1.0.0
Best Practices
Scalability
- Horizontal scaling
