Summary

By embarking on a mountaineering expedition metaphor, we ventured through the landscape of cloud-native application development in a multi-cloud realm. We began with the essentials of automation, containerization, and orchestration, drawing parallels between Docker as the climber’s backpack and Kubernetes as the expedition leader coordinating the journey.

While navigating intricate multi-cloud networking and security, we likened this to climbers adhering to communication and safety protocols. We explored the significance of robust networking for application interaction and security measures to safeguard data and applications across diverse cloud platforms.

In the next chapter, we’ll shift our focus to the secure and compliant handling of data within the intricate multi-cloud environment. Comparable to a skilled navigator ensuring safe passage through unpredictable terrain, cloud-native developers must master strategies for managing data, ensuring security...
