Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is a nonprofit organization that supports the development of cloud-native technologies, such as containers, service meshes, and orchestration systems. CNCF's mission is to make cloud computing more reliable, scalable, and efficient. The organization provides a vendor-neutral forum for collaboration and innovation, and it promotes the adoption of best practices for cloud-native development and deployment.
What is Cloud Native Computing?
Cloud native computing is a style of software development and deployment that takes advantage of the benefits of cloud computing. Cloud-native applications are designed to be:
-
Containerized: Cloud-native applications are packaged into containers, which are lightweight, portable, and executable software environments. Containers allow applications to be easily deployed and managed across different cloud platforms.
-
Microservices-based: Cloud-native applications are typically composed of multiple microservices, which are small, independent, and loosely coupled services. Microservices can be independently deployed, scaled, and updated, which makes cloud-native applications more agile and resilient.
-
DevOps-enabled: Cloud-native applications are developed and deployed using DevOps principles, which emphasize collaboration between development and operations teams. DevOps tools and practices help to automate and streamline the software development lifecycle, which makes it faster and more efficient to deliver new features and updates to cloud-native applications.
