Certificate in Cloud Native
Cloud Native refers to an approach to building and running
applications that fully leverage the advantages of cloud computing and
its native features. It encompasses a set of principles, practices, and
technologies aimed at designing, developing, deploying, and managing
applications that are optimized for the cloud environment. Cloud Native
applications are typically designed to be scalable, resilient, and
adaptable to dynamic cloud infrastructure, utilizing containerization,
microservices architecture, and DevOps practices.
Why is Cloud Native important?
- Enables organizations to leverage the full potential of cloud computing for building and running applications.
- Facilitates scalability and elasticity, allowing applications to efficiently handle fluctuating workloads.
- Enhances resilience and fault tolerance through distributed architecture and redundancy.
- Promotes agility and faster time-to-market by enabling rapid development, deployment, and iteration of applications.
- Improves resource utilization and cost efficiency by leveraging cloud-native technologies such as containerization and serverless computing.
- Supports modern software development practices such as continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and infrastructure as code (IaC).
Who should take the Cloud Native Exam?
- Cloud Architects
- DevOps Engineers
- Software Developers
- System Administrators
- Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
