Cloud Native is an approach to ensure the design and development of cloud computing architecture applications. Cloud-native applications make consistent use of the services provided by the cloud and are based on micro services. It is assumed that digital strategies of companies can only be fully implemented in the long term with the use of cloud-native architectures and technologies. The term cloud native is used in connection with applications specially designed and developed for cloud computing (native cloud application - NCA for short).

The applications have the following unique features:

• behave predictably and are highly automated
• At the same time, there is a high degree of abstraction to the hardware and operating systems
• are independent of the underlying infrastructure

The aim of Cloud Native is to use the special features of the cloud computing architecture to the advantage of the applications. To this end, the possibilities of distributed cloud platforms must be fully exploited. The profession of cloud native engineer has a future, as the majority of new digital workloads will be provided on cloud-native platforms in the future. In cloud native engineering, digitalization can be designed and implemented. Designing and operating cloud-native solutions for automated environments contributes to IT architecture shaped by cloud technologies.

In a Cloud Native training course, you will learn what you need to build and operate container-based IT systems. You will learn how to automatically create virtual machines using Vagrant and how to connect them in a network. You will also use containers, repositories, DevOps with GitLab, Linux Essentials and container virtualization with Docker. You will become an IT specialist who deals with the creation, distribution and operation of modern IT systems in the cloud.
