Understanding the Value of Cloud-Native Architecture

About This Course

“Cloud-native” gets applied to almost anything running on a cloud provider, which empties the term of most of its meaning right when organizations are being asked to invest heavily in it.

This is Lee’s most-saved LinkedIn Learning course — over 16,000 bookmarks from nearly 10,000 learners. It draws the line between cloud-hosted and genuinely cloud-native, then covers both the value case and the implementation itself: designing, constructing, operating, and reconfiguring workloads built as services, microservices, and containers.

What You’ll Learn

• Distinguishing cloud-native architecture from software that’s simply hosted on the cloud
• Naming the specific business and technical benefits cloud-native actually delivers
• Designing, constructing, operating, and reconfiguring workloads the cloud-native way — services, microservices, and containerization included
• Sequencing an incremental move toward cloud-native instead of a single big rewrite

Who This Is For

Solution architects and IT decision-makers evaluating whether cloud-native is worth the investment for their organization, not engineers already sold on it.
