Definition
Cloud Native is an approach to building and running applications that exploits the advantages of the cloud computing delivery model. Cloud native characteristics: (1) Microservices — decomposed services, (2) Containers — Docker packaging, (3) Dynamic orchestration — Kubernetes, (4) DevOps — CI/CD pipelines, (5) APIs — service-to-service communication, (6) Observability — logging, monitoring, tracing. Harch Corp provides a cloud-native platform for AI workloads, with managed Kubernetes, service mesh (Istio), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger).
