Cloud technology and cloud native approach

1. Anirban Sen Chowdhary

2. Cloud technology which enables different companies and organist ions to
use and consume a compute resource, such as a virtual machine (VM),
storage service or an application or as a utility is the delivery of on-demand
computing resources which covers from applications to data centers over
the internet and on a pay as per usage basis.
In the simplest terms, we can say that cloud is storing and accessing Data
and we are accessing data securely over the Internet server instead of our
local computer's hard drive.
Thus, the data can be accessible from any part of the globe.

3. Some examples we can see Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Apple
iCloud etc.
In todays world, Cloud networking which is based on the concept of cloud
computing, where centralized computing resources are shared within the
customers or clients and in this cloud networking, the network can be
shared as well as the computing resources.
Some advantages are:
1) We can rapidly start using innovative business apps
2) Data is protected and no Data is lost if our computer breaks or down, as
data is in the cloud.
3) It doesn't need any effort from our part to maintain or manage it.
4) Data is available 24X7 and can be access from any part of the world.
5) Companies can scales up or down quickly and easily to meet demand.
6) User or Client needs to pay as per their use.

5. Since right now the entire world is going to shift it's focus to Cloud due to
all these advantage.
Day by day due to it's increasing demands, the technology is getting
affordable every one's reach.
Now, instead of paying one big fees for it's support and maintenance,
businesses will have to pay per user for support privileges, based on how
quickly they will get a response.
The organization also shifting their focus on Cloud as it is available and
accessible from any part of the world.

7. Cloud-native is the approach to building and running applications that fully
takes the advantages of the cloud computing delivery model.
In today’s world public cloud make us to think about infrastructure
investment for virtually every industry, a cloud-like delivery model isn’t
exclusive to public environments and appropriate for both public and
private clouds.
The advantage is that it offers nearly unlimited computing power, on-
demand, along with modern data and application services for developers.

8. a Cloud-Native strategy is about scale and resilience: “distributed systems
capable of scaling to thousands and thousands of self healing multi-tenant
nodes”. This is incredible useful for those who want to scale an existing
product, reduce their operating costs, and improve their margins..

10. Speed: organization of different sizes can feel the advantage in being able
to move quickly in to the market by fast. Ne way of achieving this by a
cultural shift within a business, transitioning from big bang projects to
more incremental improvements. This includes managing risk and the best
a Cloud-Native approach is about de-risking as well as accelerating change
and allowing companies to delegate more aggressively and thus become
more responsive.
Scale: with the growth in businesses, it is strategically necessary to support
more users, in more different locations, with a broader range of devices,
while maintaining responsiveness, managing costs, and not falling over.
Margin: in the new world of infrastructure-as-a-service, a strategic goal
may be to pay for additional resources only as they’re needed – as new
customers come online which is fully compatible with the Cloud-Native
approach of spend less on hosting.

11. It may soon happen that over the next few years, the cloud-based
developers community may increase as well as the number of new cloud-
based solutions which will bring a new era of cloud based software
solution.
It may also happen that many big companies and organization may likely to
include the Mobile Cloud scenario, where the latest mobile devices and
cloud computing services will offer a flexible business technology solution
and mobile Cloud solution is already coming under limelight now.

12. The Cloud venders are also offering different business solution as per
needs while providing different security mechanism for Data as well as
different cloud based networking solution to bridge the gap between
different cloud services.
Project Calico is one of the example, which provides open source virtual
networking solution, high-scale network fabric for Cloud as well as enables
the implementation scalable, standards-based, cloud infrastructures.
As the Cloud technology grows day by day, we can definitely see a new
dimension on Cloud based services appearing replacing the old services
pattern and lots of providers providing different cloud based services like
hosting, storages, network-based, cloud based security etc.
