What You Should Know About Cloud-Native Applications

Cloud-native applications are apps that make complete use of the cloud computing revolution. To take full advantage of Cloud-native operations, one needs to ensure that the application design is decoupled from physical infrastructure. Moreover, the application should be divided into services and tiers. Each service and tier should be developed & run independently. Here are the main features that define Cloud-Native Applications.

Cloud-native operations

  1. Multiple services: each application can further be split down into services called Microservices. These services co-operate with each other. However, it appears to the end customer that they are reaching a single application.
  2. Elasticity: the applications and their services should scale in-out and up-down in case the demand increases. 
  3. Compatibility: each service is programmed in a way that other applications can consume it. It is generally done via APIs that have well-defined behavior. 
  4. Resiliency: if services can survive outages and failures, then they are considered resilient. Moreover, they can use the automated failovers and disaster recovery procedures available in the cloud. 
  5. Auto-scalability: by utilizing microservices, cloud-native operations can scale services automatically and independently. It happens automatically most of the time, so one doesn’t require to manage them regularly.

 

At Kubermatic, we provide the Kubermatic Kubernetes platform, which allows you to automate your daily business operations across a multi-cloud, on-premise, and edge environment with great resilience.

Benefits of adopting Cloud Native Design in the Enterprises

Image
The main purpose of the cloud-native design operations is designed to leverage effectively unlimited horizontal scaling with rapid change as key. By installing the operations, you can focus on the real-time and dynamic automation of physical systems.  Importance of the Cloud-Native Design With the Cloud-Native Design cloud capabilities of auto-scaling, auto-provision, and auto redundancy capabilities, you can speed up innovation, improve agility, and reduce IT costs. In addition, it helps in moving a business idea into production faster for a better agility process.  Three essential aspects of adopting cloud-native operations 1. Shift approach at any time Many enterprises take existing workloads and migrate them to the cloud. When you shift the legacy practices to the cloud might shift as faster as you need.  2. Visibility across the multi-cloud platform  Deploy the application in two or more cloud providers, where the services are used across the multi-cloud platfor...

Importance of Kubernetes multi-cluster management

Image
  Businesses are increasingly deploying multiple Kubernetes clusters to enhance availability, flexibility, isolation, and scalability. Multi-cluster is a method for deploying an application across multiple Kubernetes clusters to improve availability.  Kubernetes multi-cluster management   can be implemented to ensure compliance with distinct and conflicting regulations. The speed and security of software delivery can also be improved. Individual development teams deploy applications to isolate clusters and specifically expose which services are available for testing and release.    Better operational readiness:  troubleshooting, associated operational runbook, and tools are simplified with standardizing cluster creation. It alleviates common sources of operational errors while reducing the cognitive load for support engineers, which leads to improved response time.    No vendor lock-ins:  a multi-cluster strat...

Scale Up the Scenario in the Enterprise with Kubernetes Services

Image
There are many things your organization will adopt by choosing Kubernetes services for the enterprise. First, it offers one of the best ways to deploy and run applications on a large pool of resources.  Here are the benefits of deploying Kubernetes within an enterprise:  1. Market leader  More developers and engineers know the benefit of deploying the Kubernetes management platform , which lowers the learning curve for businesses that adopt it. In addition, Kubernetes has a large ecosystem, and that makes it easy to extend the functionality. 2. Proven and battle-tested  Thousands of IT teams are using Kubernetes daily. In addition, this makes it a proven reliable solution that can reduce cloud complexity. 3. Open-source  To many businesses, this open-source strategy makes the Kubernetes preferable to orchestrators that are closed source that is built. These are closely associated with only one company. 4. Increase the developer productivity  Kubernetes give...
