Info

β€œCloud native is the software approach of building, deploying, and managing modern applications in cloud computing environments. Modern companies want to build highly scalable, flexible, and resilient applications that they can update quickly to meet customer demands. To do so, they use modern tools and techniques that inherently support application development on cloud infrastructure. These cloud-native technologies support fast and frequent changes to applications without impacting service delivery, providing adopters with an innovative, competitive advantage.” By AWS about Cloud Native

”Cloud Native is an approach to designing and building applications for dynamic cloud environments. By prioritizing rapid development and frequent updates, organizations are able to innovate faster and reduce operational complexity.” By GitHub about Cloud Native

Cloud Native usually relate with Kubernetes and Architecture topics, so you can double-check more them at reference below
