Cloud native architectures are based loosely on building applications according to the 12 factor or 15 factor methodologies. If you aren't familiar with this concept, please take a look at my course on 12 factor and 15 factor cloud native applications. This current course focuses on microservices and not cloud native, but often they do go together. So let's spend a few minutes and discuss this at a high level.
