Cloud-Native Workflows
Design scalable architectures with modern cloud-native development patterns
1. Overview
This guide explains how to design cloud-native applications workflows using microservices, containers, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Key Concepts: Serverless Architectures
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Manage cloud infrastructure via code instead of UI interfaces. Learn how to create reproducible infrastructure using declarative templates.
terraform {
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "~> 4.0"
}
}
}
resource tf_aws_s3_bucket "my_bucket" {
bucket = "my-unique-bucket-name"
acl = "private"
}
2. Core Architecture
Infrastructure Orchestration
Automate deployment and management of cloud infrastructure with tools like Terraform and Ansible.
Containerization
Package applications into containers for consistent deployment across environments using Docker.
Orchestration
Manage containerized applications at scale using Kubernetes for automated deployment, scaling, and management.
3. Best Practices
Infrastructure Version Control
Store your Iac in version control systems to manage changes and maintain history of deployments.
Immutable Infrastructure
Deploying changes requires creating new resources instead of modifying existing ones for reliability.
4. Code Examples
Terraform Example
resource "aws_lambda_function" "example" {
function_name = "example-lambda"
handler = "lambda.handler"
runtime = "python3.8"
filename = "lambda_function.zip"
source_code_hash = data.archive_file.lambda.function_source.base64_encoded_sha256
}
