1. Cloud Native & CNCF
Akash Agrawal | 07-09-2019

2. Agenda
● Cloud Native
● CNCF
● CNCF Landscape & Projects
● Cloud Native Value Propositions
● Serverless

3. Cloud Native
● Cloud Native is a new paradigm (or modern way) to develop, deploy & run
applications using open source software stack.
● Cloud Native Application Design revolves around 3 concepts:
○ Microservices
○ Containers
○ Container Orchestration
● This new paradigm fully exploit advantages of cloud computing model
(means you will focus on how applications are created & deployed, not
where)

4. Cloud Native Application Design
● Independent Application Components (Services)
● Distributed
● Scalable (dynamic)
● Fault Tolerant
● Microservices Design Patterns: Service Discovery etc.
● DevOps Friendly
● ...

5. CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation)
● CNCF is responsible for building sustainable ecosystems of Cloud Native
Softwares
● CNCF serves as the vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing
open source projects like Kubernetes, Prometheus & Envoy etc. (In Cloud
Native Space)
● CNCF is part of the nonprofit Linux Foundation.
● 30+ Projects under CNCF Umbrella

6. CNCF Landscape & Projects
● CNCF Landscape:
○ https://landscape.cncf.io/
● CNCF Projects Maturities:
○ Graduated Projects (Early Majority)
○ Incubated Projects (Early Adopters)
○ Sandbox Projects (Innovators)

7. CNCF Graduated Projects
● Kubernetes: Orchestration
● Prometheus: Monitoring
● Envoy: Service Proxy
● CoreDNS: Service Discovery
● Containerd: Container Runtime
● Fluentd: Logging

8. CNCF Incubated Projects
● Linkerd: ServiceMesh
● Helm: Package Management
● Etcd: Key/Value Store
● ...

9. CNCF Sandbox Projects
● KubeEdge
● OpenEBS
● ...

10. Cloud Native & CNCF Value Propositions
● Cloud Native Technologies empower organizations:
○ To build & run scalable distributed applications
○ In modern, dynamic environments such as public, private and hybrid clouds
● By using
○ Approach:
■ Containers, Container Orchestration, Service Mesh, MicroServices etc.
○ Open Source Software Stack:
■ Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy etc.

11. Cloud Native & CNCF Value Propositions
● Enabling us:
○ To design robust Distributed & Scalable Applications
○ Having loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable & observable
○ Combined with robust automation
○ Allowing us to make high impact changes frequently & predictably with minimal toil
● CNCF:
○ Drives the adoption of this paradigm
○ By fostering & sustaining an ecosystem of (Vendor Neutral) Open Source projects.

12. Why Organizations are adopting Cloud
Native
● For Better Resource Utilization
● For Multi-Cloud & Hybrid-Cloud Strategy
● For Modernization of Applications
● For Velocity & Agility - DevOps Practice
