Principles of Container-Based Application Design

Typically, cloud-native applications are developed as loosely coupled microservices running in containers managed by platforms. These applications anticipate failure, and they run and scale reliably even when their underlying infrastructure is experiencing outages. To offer such capabilities, cloud-native platforms impose a set of contracts and constraints on the applications running on them. These contracts ensure that the applications conform to certain constraints and allow the platforms to automate the management of the containerized applications.

Many organizations understand the necessity and importance of becoming cloud native, but do not know where to start. This whitepaper describes a number of principles that containerized applications must comply with in order to become good cloud-native citizens. Adhering to these principles will help ensure that your applications are suitable for automation in cloud-native platforms such as Kubernete
