The last decade has been all about the rise of cloud-based services, especially when you consider the advancement of streaming services like Netflix or Spotify. The demand for cloud-based services grew by 18% in 2017, with market revenue of $246.8 billion.
In 2020, a global pandemic pushed many brick-and-mortar businesses to go online. During this digital transformation, one service has been facilitating scalability in the cloud.
DevOps, the method of automating processes between development and operations, is one of the essential factors of successfully implementing a cloud-native approach. Since cloud-native has a purpose to reduce go-to-market time and bring more efficiency to companies, DevOps is what streamlines individuals, tools, and systems, contributing to the overall success of the enterprise. This is what makes cloud-native DevOps a logical step towards improved productivity.
Both cloud-native and DevOps movements are on the rise. Reports and Data predict that the global DevOps market will grow from $4.49 billion in 2019 to $17.27 billion in 2027.
Containerization has come a long way and containers have completely revolutionized the way companies build, test, package and deliver software today. Containers are good for packaging any software — big or small. Microservices are great candidates to be packaged and delivered with container images. With Microservices architecture, the large monolith is decoupled into several mini services that work independently.
This non-interdependency creates freedom among developers to work on services with more proficiency and without worrying about dependencies and how one service might affect the others throughout the whole system. Although microservices are decoupled pieces/services, they all work on one bigger and common objective.
It's been a while since I've talked about running OpenShift Container Platform on your local machine.
This means a container platform at your finger tips, one you can use to experience the joys of cloud-native development and automated rolling deployments. Since I started pulling together ways to easily experience this with OpenShift Container Platform (back with version 3.3, believe it or not) we've come a long way.
When we talk about cloud-native mobile application development, we're thinking specific kind of applications that are able to make native use of infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and other such cloud computing providers. One can even call it an approach to build as well as run applications which use the characteristics and nature of the cloud while resulting in a workflow and such processes that take complete advantage of the platform.
It is by utilizing cloud computing services that these cloud-native applications are able to so dynamically function. Also, the scalability of these apps is commendable, looking at how they are just loosely connected with the various cloud infrastructure components — that means, these apps can easily be scaled up or down, as and when required. Only the modern and just the best amongst all tools and technologies available are used to develop cloud-native apps. These include Agile methodology, GCP, AWS, and other cloud platforms, containers such as Kubernetes and Docker, and so on.
