The 7th Engineering Nexus explored the theme of Cloud Native Software Development delving into subtopics like creating an adaptive Cloud culture, modernizing legacy systems using Cloud, and suggestions on what goes in the Cloud toolkit and infrastructure. This session also featured specialists Afkham Azeez, Vice President and Deputy CTO – Cloud, WSO2, Chamila Liyanage, Software Architect, LSEG Technology and Rumesh Athukorala, Technical Specialist – Application Engineering, Pearson Lanka.

Discussing ‘The Journey towards Cloud Native’, Krishan Seneviratne noted that apart from technology, there were other key factors important in the journey towards becoming Cloud native. He emphasised, “Cloud native is much more than Micro- services and Kubernetes, and it is much more than technology or a tool set. Cloud native is not having a definite answer but adopting a philosophy or approach for building applications to take full advantage of cloud computing while embracing new ways of working from top down.”
