Book Description

Successfully transitioning to a cloud native approach demands more than just new tools—it requires a change in mindset. Written by a group of experts—Gerald Bachlmayr, Aiden Ziegelaar, Alan Blockley, and Bojan Zivic—each with extensive experience in cloud transformation, AWS technologies, and DevOps practices, this guide isn't just about avoiding mistakes, it teaches you how to identify cloud anti-patterns and remediate them as you transition 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 effective FinOps practices, foster a mature DevSecOps culture, and automate security and compliance measures. For each area, you'll identify common anti-patterns, their disadvantages, and refactor them into best practices. The book then covers the application, data, and networking tiers, transforming mistakes to solutions that enhance business agility. You'll also gain expert insights into observability, operations, migrations, and testing of cloud-native solutions. By the end, you'll be equipped to spot anti-patterns, develop remediation strategies, and lead your organization toward cloud-native best success.
