Ebook
Successfully transitioning to a cloud-native architecture demands more than just new tools—it requires a change in mindset. Written by cloud transformation experts Gerald Bachlmayr, Aiden Ziegelaar, Alan Blockley, and Bojan Zivic—each with extensive experience in cloud transformation, AWS technologies, and DevOps practices, this guide shows you how to identify and remediate cloud anti-patterns, steering your organization to become truly cloud native.
You’ll start by exploring the events that shaped our understanding of the modern cloud-native stack. Through practical examples, you’ll learn how to establish a solid strategy, implement a suitable governance model, adopt FinOps practices, foster a mature DevSecOps culture, and automate security and compliance measures. For each domain, you’ll identify common anti-patterns and refactor them into best practices.
The book then examines how to evolve application, data, and networking tiers from potential pitfalls into solutions that enhance business agility. You’ll also gain expert insights into observability, operations, migrations, and testing of cloud-native solutions.
By the end of this book, you'll possess the knowledge to spot anti-patterns, develop effective remediation strategies, and confidently guide your organization to cloud-native success.
