What Does Cloud-Native Architecture Mean?
Cloud-native architecture is an architecture or system that has been built specifically to run in the cloud. Cloud-native architectures have the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems that were built to run on a particular hardware infrastructure, and may be difficult to migrate to the cloud later.
Techopedia Explains Cloud-Native Architecture
Cloud-native architecture makes use of the cloud philosophy of distributed systems. It is not built on physical servers residing on a particular enterprise site, because it is deployed in the cloud, and often through multi-cloud implementations, so that one part of the system may be on one vendor’s servers, and another part may be on some other vendor’s servers.
