Chapter summary

In this chapter, you learned that being cloud native is a lot more than running your apps in the public cloud. In fact, cloud native is a combination of technologies and behaviors. The technologies include platforms like Kubernetes, as well as microservices applications that run as containers and serverless functions. The behaviors include a mindset that’s open to change, as well as a culture that’s open to acting quickly and investing in the right people and technologies. Open standards are also key bringing the kind of stability and confidence required for a strong ecosystem of tools to emerge.
