The second cloud native principle is about how the application itself will be designed and architected. This section will focus on the actual application design process, and will identify architecture patterns that are mature and lead to cloud native architectures. Similar to the other design principles of the CNMM, developing and architecting cloud native applications is an evolution with different patterns that are typically followed along the way. Ultimately, used in conjunction with the other CNMM principles, the outcome will be a mature, sophisticated, and robust cloud native architecture that is ready to continue evolving as the world of cloud computing expands:
