This document discusses cloud native applications and platforms as a service (PaaS). It defines what constitutes a cloud native application versus a legacy application. Cloud native apps are designed to be optimized for the cloud, using microservices architectures and DevOps practices with frequent small releases. The document notes that improving business agility, scalability, and collaborating with partners are key drivers for organizations adopting a cloud native strategy. It provides data on what leading organizations are doing regarding practices like agile development, automated testing and deployment, and integrated DevOps teams.
