Trends have begun to emerge over the last decade in software development: lightweight microservices, hosting applications in the cloud, containerization, etc. Out of these trends has come one of technology's biggest buzzwords: "cloud-native", and the definition changes depends on who you ask. Today, as junior developers enter the field, they are closer to the infrastructure and operations side of things than ever, so it's important for them to know what this term means and how to build cloud-native applications. In this session, we will try to break down the definition, touching on 12 Factor Development, Containerization, Container Orchestration, and how it affects the agile workspace.
