Change is the only constant and is inevitable. IT landscape has changed over some time in the cloud technology space. Enterprises are moving towards cloud-native areas and containers, Kubernetes, serverless frameworks. Cloud-native technology has brought many benefits for enterprises, from managing the infrastructure, deployments, and scalability in public, private and hybrid clouds. This transition is helping enterprises apply cloud-native rationales in their software development to increase productivity, agility, and saving cost radically, but it brings obstacles simultaneously. There is a saying: "The greater the barrier, the more glory in overcoming it."
Evolution of Cloud
With the agility in IT Systems, decisions also change across time. For example, earlier on, we had an era of on-premises servers where businesses were maintaining their servers, and now the same companies are moving to the Cloud. Every time we go through these kinds of changes, the whole strategy of that business changes. Let's try to understand it via one example; if today I am using Azure Cloud and my complete tools, the process revolves around it; but what if tomorrow, the business decides to move to AWS? At that time, will my decision still hold? Do I need to start from scratch? With cloud-native, this decision is easy because now businesses need not worry about these changes as cloud-native provides that freedom. If cloud infrastructure is well designed and architectured, it will show resiliency/elasticness against the outages or downtime.
