Cloud native technologies empower
organizations to build and run scalable
applications in modern, dynamic environments
such as public, private, and hybrid clouds.

that automation applied to an efficient operation will
magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation
applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the
inefficiency.
