Abstract

Today, the notion of cloud-native applications has appeared to be one of the main trends due to the digital transformation of all spheres of human life and the constant demand for elastic, reliable, and inexpensive applications. The purpose of this paper is to identify the best practices for building and running Cloud-Native applications with special emphasis on Microservices and Containers on AWS. It starts with educating readers about cloud-native architecture, whereas the best practices such as microservice and containers help to build a more flexible and scalable application. The paper goes straight to the architectural points of view. Briefly, it describes several AWS tools and services, such as Amazon ECS, EKS, Lambda, and API Gateway important for employing containerized deployment. It also focuses on the issues and approaches connected with orchestration, monitoring, protection, and expenditures when working with AWS environments. Lastly, from several case studies, the authors discuss the effectiveness of achieving functional, system improvement, scalability, and cost-efficient solutions. A conclusion re-emphasizes the necessity of using AWS-driven architectures for constructing future-proof cloud-native systems where this change of needs is profoundly seen.
