CNX Forum: What is Cloud Native?
In the first edition of the CNX Forum we get right to the point: What exactly does the term "cloud native" actually mean? Is there a substantial meaning behind it or is it just another buzzword?
Lee Razo of CloudNativeX hosts a lively discussion with two veterans of the cloud computing industry: Jonathan Wisler, former EMEA Managing Director for Softlayer and Patrick van Helden, recent Googler and currently the CTO at Xcellerate Labs where he advises early stage cloud native technology companies.
