Cloud-Native DevOps with AWS: Containers, Serverless, and IaC
Cloud-native DevOps represents a modern approach to building and operating applications that fully leverage the scalability, elasticity, and automation capabilities of the cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a comprehensive ecosystem that enables organizations to adopt cloud-native DevOps through containers, serverless computing, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Together, these technologies form the backbone of scalable, resilient, and highly automated systems. This article explores how containers, serverless, and IaC work together in cloud-native DevOps on AWS. Understanding Cloud-Native DevOps Cloud-native DevOps combines DevOps principles—automation, continuous delivery, collaboration, and monitoring—with cloud-native technologies designed for dynamic environments. Unlike traditional DevOps, which often relies on static infrastructure, cloud-native DevOps embraces ephemeral resources, event-driven workflows, and declarative infrastructure. Key characteristics include: Automat...
