1IDC FutureScape, 2018

 What is cloud native?
Package application code & dependencies in containers, deploy as microservices
and manage them using DevOps processes & tools

APIs Containers

Microservices DevOps
Why cloud native?
 • Strongest developer experience1
Speed of innovation • Most complete tool chain from Git to production
• Serverless scaling with no infrastructure to manage

• Fully managed database services with >99.999-percent high availability

Reliability • Single-digit millisecond latencies on reads and writes
• Available in more regions than any other cloud providers

• $1BN investment every year in security

Security at scale
• >90 compliance certifications
• Out of the box integration with Azure Policy, Active Directory and Security Center

Healthcare provider stays
ahead of the competition
with continuous delivery
on Azure
Challenge
With numerous competitors, big and small,
entering the healthcare market, we need to
accelerate delivery of improved functionality
and new features to our customers to stay
ahead of the competition.

Outcome
Developers can quickly and easily work
with their containerized applications with
minimal operations and maintenance
overhead, leading to shorter release cycles and
helping the company achieve its desired
continuous delivery approach.
“Internal and external developers
can independently release
microservices at any point in time,
which makes development faster
and enables a continuous delivery
approach completely based on
Azure. We have set an astonishing
speed for product development. ”

Retailer delivers world-class
shopping experiences
Challenge
ASOS ecommerce platform needs could scale to
meet seasonal demand and instant update with
high reliability in any location.

Outcome
Reimagined microservices architecture in a
global distribution of 30 datacenters that
ensures automated resiliency and high levels
of performance for customers in any location.
The high scalability and fast performance
translated to more sales, peaking at 22 orders
per second on Black Friday and 33 per second
on the following Cyber Monday—the two
busiest shopping days of the year.
“The service tier served 167
million requests in the 24 hours
of Black Friday. We maxed at
3,500 requests a second on the
product API and had an average
response time of 48
milliseconds. “

innovative apps in a highly
secure, collaborative
environment
Challenge
Implement new product innovations on top of
existing systems in a secure environment,
without increasing operating costs.

Outcome
Fast and secure cloud native environment with
controlled exposure powered by world-class
authentication and security tools like Azure
Active Directory.
“Banks can run their core system
on-premise, while still managing
marketplace applications on the
cloud. We are facilitating their
controlled exposure to the
cloud, and that’s exciting.”
