cloud native is not a synonym for ‘microservices’ #IBMCloudGarage @holly_cummins

Slide 33

#IBMCloudGarage @holly_cummins

Slide 34

if ‘cloud native’ has to be a synonym for anything, it would be ‘idempotent’ #IBMCloudGarage @holly_cummins

Slide 35

if ‘cloud native’ has to be a synonym for anything, it would be ‘idempotent’ which definitely needs a synonym #IBMCloudGarage @holly_cummins
