A Few Key DefinitionsTo answer this, we first have to be clear on the definition – what does it mean for something to be “cloud-native”? It's a simple fix for those who don't need advantages being cloud-native offers, such as:• Flexibility: Cloud flexibility allows you to deploy, iterate and redeploy quickly and easily, wherever needed and only for as long as necessary. • Resiliency: Cloud-native solutions must be robust and always on, making disruption virtually unnoticeable. Others design for too many possible needs at the start, leading to over-engineering that delays projects and adds paralyzing and fragile complexity. Does the proposed cloud solution make it easy to experiment and iterate?
