Cloud native is a term that’s popping up more and more, but what does it really mean? And why should businesses in Toronto care?
Let’s keep it simple.
What is Cloud Native?
Cloud native is a way of building and running applications that are designed for the cloud from day one. Instead of relying on traditional servers or hardware, these applications are built to work in flexible, scalable cloud environments.
Imagine running your business tools without being tied to a specific machine or location. Cloud native makes that possible.
Key Elements:
- Microservices: Smaller parts of an application that can be developed and updated independently.
- Containers: Lightweight packages that hold everything needed to run an app.
- Kubernetes: Software that helps manage and organize containers automatically.
- DevOps: A work style that brings together development and operations teams for smoother updates.

Toronto’s tech scene is growing fast. Businesses here are looking for ways to stay flexible and competitive.
