Cloud-native computing
Okay kiddo, let me tell you about cloud-native computing.
Imagine you have a colorful bucket full of toys - each toy is an application that you can play with whenever you want. Now, instead of keeping this bucket at home, you put it in your favorite playground with all your best friends. You can share the toys with your friends and they can also give you their own toys to play with, so you both have more fun.
Similarly, in cloud-native computing, applications are put in a digital playground called the "cloud". It's a big computer system that can be located anywhere in the world, and it's owned by a company that manages it for everyone to use. This makes it easier for people to access and use applications without having to own a powerful computer or pay for expensive software. Just like how you share your toys with your friends in the playground, people can share their applications with others in the cloud.
Now, let's say you want to change one of the toys in your bucket. Maybe it's broken or you want to trade it for another toy. You can just reach into the bucket, take out the old toy, and put in a new one. With cloud-native computing, it's just as easy to make changes to the applications that are in the cloud. Developers can make updates, fix bugs, or add new features without having to physically go to each computer that's using the application. Instead, they can just make the change in the cloud and it will automatically update for everyone who's using that application.
Finally, when the day is over and it's time to go home, you can leave your toy bucket in the playground. You know it will be safe and ready for you to play with the next day. With cloud-native computing, applications are also safe and ready to use whenever someone needs them. The company that manages the cloud makes sure that everything is secure and running smoothly, so people can be confident that their applications will always be available to them.
So, that's cloud-native computing! It's like having a digital playground for applications where people can share and use them easily, update them quickly, and trust that they will always be available and secure.
