Cloud-native infrastructure leverages abstraction, scripted declarative APIs, and clear lifecycles to effectively run cloud-native systems. It combines tools like infrastructure as code, blue/green deployments, canary releases, continuous delivery, automated testing, auto-scaling, and circuit breakers. Continuous deployment delivers functionality quickly through automated deployments of any code that passes tests. Multi-cloud continuous deployment can be achieved with tools like Spinnaker, and blue/green and canary releases enable safe deployments in clouds like Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
