The motivation to write this book goes back to the words of Swami Vivekananda: Everything is easy when you are busy, but nothing is easy when you are lazy and In a day when you dont come across any problems, you can be sure that you are traveling on the wrong path.

Cloud computing has proven to be revolutionary in IT, and the need to adapt to the cloud across organizations has increased rapidly, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Cloud native architecture is part of the cloud revolution and gives you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems in your IT real estate. Cloud native architectures demonstrate seven essential components of designing, developing, and deploying modern present-day architecture: cloud, microservices, serverless, event-driven, containers, automation, and agility.

This book provides you with the end-to-end details of cloud native systems, from architecting to managing them. You will learn what a cloud adoption framework looks like and develop a cloud native architecture using microservices, serverless, and event-driven data, and you will learn how to adopt AI and ML in your end-to-end automation and engineering. You will not get cloud native benefits without modernizing your existing legacy systems, so youll learn how to modernize your legacy systems and infrastructure to be cloud native.

Youll explore how to design for cloud native abilities and create fitness functions and learn ways to achieve operational excellence.

By the end of this book, you will have learned about the modern-day techniques and tools to design, develop, deploy, and operationalize cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. You will also understand future cloud native trends across the industry.

This book will be helpful for people who want to learn and develop cloud native architecture. Whether its design, development, deploy, or operation, the book will help you on a journey from beginning to end. By reading this book, you will get a full, clear picture of how the world of cloud native works, and you will be able to better manage your systems.

To my mother Jayamma S and late father Rudrappa G M, who taught me the value of hard work, and to my wife Nirmala and daughter Neeharika, without whom I wouldnt have been able to work long hours into the night every day of the week. Last, but not the least, Id like to thank my friends, colleagues, and mentors at Accenture, Mphasis, and other corporations who guided me throughout my career.

Thank you to my colleagues Celestin Suresh John, Mathew Moodie, and Shrikant Vishwakarma for giving me an opportunity to work with you and Apress and all who have helped this book become a reality.
