This unit enables learners to understand how digital transformation is facilitated through the use of cloud native solutions, an approach which incorporates the building and running of applications that fully leverages the advantages of a cloud computing platform.It also provides learners with knowledge and experience in designing and building cloud-native applications that are cost-effective, automated, scalable, and resilient. This is achieved using modern DevOps tools, design applications, microservice architectures, and the deployment of containerised applications to cloud platforms using cloud-native best practices. Note: learners would benefit if they have studied the Cloud Computing unit prior to this unit.
