If you’ve researched cloud native applications and technologies, you’ve probably come across the CNCF cloud native landscape. Unsurprisingly, the sheer scale of it can be overwhelming. So many categories and so many technologies. How do you make sense of it?
As with anything else, if you break it down and analyze it one piece at a time, you’ll find it’s not that complex and makes a lot of sense. In fact, the map is neatly organized by functionality and, once you understand what each category represents, navigating it becomes a lot easier.
In this guide, we’ll break this mammoth landscape down and provide a high-level overview of its layers, columns, and categories
Problem it addresses
Cloud native architectures are fluid, flexible, and elastic, making persisting data between restarts challenging. To scale up and down or self-heal, containerized apps are continuously created and deleted, changing physical location over time. That’s why cloud native storage must be provided node-independently. To store data, though, you’ll need hardware, a disk to be specific, and disks, just like any other hardware, are infrastructure-bound — our first big challenge.
