The Cloud Native approach is able to run scalable applications in environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds.

In a 2011 Wall Street Journal article, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen famously wrote that “software is eating the world” – meaning that software is playing a key role as the world goes online. The software running the Cloud is a huge and fast-growing portion of the Internet which is revolutionizing the online presence of most industries.

Every major software vendor has already moved to a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, but the majority of world’s software running the Internet still uses a legacy design. Attempting to “forklift” legacy applications into the Cloud is not cost-effective, and rarely creates a robust platform.

Instead, the Cloud Native approach is able to run scalable applications in environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. In this talk, Ron Herardian will discuss the advantages of Cloud Native applications versus legacy software approaches, what is driving this disruptive change in the software industry, and what the future holds for software development.
