Cloud Native Computing
Cloud Native Computing involves developing applications as a collection of loosely coupled and independently deployable microservices, packaged in containers, and dynamically orchestrated to optimize resource utilization.
Cloud Native computing and DevOps share common goals of accelerating software delivery, improving scalability, and enhancing reliability.

Global Scale Performance
By integrating Cloud Native principles with DevOps practices, organizations can achieve faster time-to-market, better resource utilization, and increased agility in responding to changing business requirements.
Cloud Native Computing takes the principles of DevOps a step further by leveraging cloud technologies and architectures to enable organizations to build and deploy applications at scale, and improves DevOps performance in several ways:
- Streamlined Deployment: With containerization and dynamic orchestration, deploying applications becomes more automated and repeatable. This reduces the risk of errors and speeds up the deployment process.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Cloud Native Computing encourages closer collaboration between development and operations teams. By adopting shared tools and practices, such as infrastructure as code and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), teams can work together more efficiently.
- Efficient Resource Utilization: Dynamic orchestration platforms like Kubernetes optimize resource allocation, ensuring that applications are deployed on the most suitable machines. This leads to better resource utilization and cost savings.
- Improved Monitoring and Observability: Cloud Native Computing provides robust monitoring and observability capabilities. With tools like Prometheus and Grafana, organizations can gain deep insights into the performance and health of their applications, enabling proactive issue detection and resolution.

A foundation for ‘Software Factories’ can be achieved by leveraging the same Lean Manufacturing principles used by them to optimize production rates.
Mapping DevOps value streams enables the team to understand how work flows through the different functions, right from idea inception through to deployment.
