As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid-cloud architectures, understanding the right path and tools is crucial for professionals aiming to deliver resilient, scalable, and efficient applications. Here’s a Cloud Native roadmap breaking down the skills and tools to master across critical domains. Dive in and explore the ecosystem that powers modern applications! 🔴 𝟭. 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 Linux remains at the heart of cloud-native systems. Get comfortable with terminal commands, bash scripting, and distributions like Ubuntu and Red Hat for a solid start. 🟢 𝟮. 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 Protocols like HTTP, SSL, and SSH form the backbone of connectivity. Tools like Wireshark are invaluable for monitoring and securing network traffic. 🔵 𝟯. 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 The cloud is non-negotiable! Whether AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, understanding SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS is key to harnessing the cloud's potential. 🟣 𝟰. 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 Security is foundational in cloud-native environments. Tools like Open Policy Agent and Prisma provide the framework for enforcing policies and securing applications. 🟡 𝟱. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗢𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Containers revolutionized app deployment! Master Docker, Kubernetes, and service meshes like Istio to orchestrate, scale, and manage applications seamlessly. 🟠 𝟲. 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 (𝗜𝗮𝗖) IaC tools like Terraform, Chef, and Puppet automate infrastructure, ensuring consistency and efficiency across deployments. IaC is a must for scalable cloud-native applications. 🟢 𝟳. 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 With tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic Stack, observability gives you the visibility needed to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize performance in real time. 🔵 𝟴. 𝗖𝗜/𝗖𝗗 Continuous Integration and Delivery streamline deployments. GitLab, Jenkins, and GitOps practices (Argo) enable rapid, reliable application delivery. This roadmap covers essential areas for cloud-native development, from Linux fundamentals to CI/CD and observability. But, the cloud-native landscape is vast and rapidly evolving! Did I miss any critical tools or concepts? Whether it's a tool you swear by or an emerging trend you're excited about, drop it in the comments! 👇
Other than Wireshark nothing you have listed under "Networking" is valid. They are all server or OS related. Networking involves things like IP addressing, routing, security, SASE, SDWAN, IaaS, IAC, WAN, VPN, and Remote Access. And network should be #1. Everything rides on the network cloud or not. A lack of understanding about the network is the source of so many problems.
Bonjour Madames et monsieur, Permettez-moi, avec tout le respect que je vous dois, de vous adresser cette demande en espérant votre bienveillance et compréhension. En tant qu’auteur, j’ai eu l’honneur de finaliser l’écriture d’un livre qui me tient à cœur, un projet qui, je crois, pourrait apporter une véritable contribution littéraire. Cependant, je suis actuellement confronté à des difficultés administratives, notamment en ce qui concerne mes documents de nationalité, ce qui complique mes démarches et freine l’avancée de mes projets. Votre aide dans ces démarches serait d’une importance inestimable, et je vous en serais infiniment reconnaissant. Par ailleurs, je souhaiterais humblement solliciter votre appui pour m’orienter ou m’aider à trouver des sponsors qui croiraient en ce livre et en son potentiel. Ce soutien me permettrait de concrétiser ce projet de manière plus sereine. Je reste à votre entière disposition pour toute information complémentaire et vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur Bovann, l’expression de mon profond respect et de ma gratitude. Respectueusement, Biamse Koffi Martinot
This roadmap is fantastic Brij kishore Pandey ! One area worth mentioning is API Management. Tools like Apigee or Kong are crucial for managing and securing APIs as applications become more interconnected. Also, consider Serverless Architecture with tools like AWS Lambda, which allows developers to focus on coding without worrying about infrastructure. Incorporating DevSecOps practices into the CI/CD pipeline can also enhance security throughout development. What are your thoughts on these additions?
I use Debian GNU/Linux at home and have some experience with other distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, etc.). I am comfortable with using the terminal for basic set-up, its actually more enjoyable than GUI. The thing I'm totally missing is knowledge/skill w.r.t bash scripting. You mentioned Ubuntu which is based on Debian. I would have thought Debian was more popular in this space because of its rock-solid stability, but I guess Ubuntu being backed by Canonical means its richer in enterprise solution integrations... BTW, all of this 'experience' of Linux has only been a hobby. I have given thought to a serious venture into something Linux-based, but have never followed through with it.
I suggest to add OpenTelemetry within the Observability toolkit
While I agree with the broad scale and scope, I believe the reality is much smaller and more focused. Mastering all of these is not reasonable for most. Wish the lines were not animated. Dizzying. Great diagram.
💙 This roadmap is an excellent overview of the essential skills for anyone looking to thrive in the cloud-native space! I particularly appreciate the emphasis on observability—having the right tools to monitor and troubleshoot applications is crucial for maintaining performance and reliability.
License issues is the problem when putting apps in cloud. Did you know contracts license with vendor apps don’t allow putting apps in cloud.
Great roadmap! As a software developer with over five years of experience in web, Android, iOS, and native applications, I fully appreciate the importance of mastering these cloud-native skills. I’ve successfully leveraged cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud to develop scalable applications while implementing CI/CD pipelines for streamlined deployments. My experience with containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes has enabled me to optimize application performance and resilience. I also focus heavily on AI/ML integration, enhancing applications with intelligent features. It’s exciting to see the evolution of cloud-native technologies, and I'm always looking to expand my toolkit further. If you’re looking for someone who can navigate the complexities of cloud-native environments while bringing innovative solutions to the table, let’s connect!
