Some of the biggest benefits when adopting a hybrid-cloud configuration are: Applications in the cloud often have greater redundancy and elasticity. This allows DevOps teams to configure the application to increase or decrease the amount of system capacity, like CPU, storage, memory and input/output bandwidth, all on-demand.

From our perspective, that’s because today’s cloud environments are becoming more dynamic, with unpredictable DevOps deployments adding huge variability to load. Application and server performance in the cloud. However, it’s also worth noting that network complexity and lack of visibility are top challenges for enteprise NetOps teams.

Instrumenting business, application, and operational context to network telemetry give operators multifaceted views of traffic and behavior. Often this is the first tier of “enriching the data,” where correlations between network details like IP addresses, DNS names, application stack tags, and deployment versions can be made.

After slave promotion, the Resource Agent triggers a DNS rerouting module. The module updates the proxy DNS entry with the IP address of the new master, thus, facilitating all application writes to be redirected to the new master. This ensures that the system continues to be available to the applications.

In this article, we show that cloud native network functions are an attempt to bring network applications into the cloud native world. Compute elasticity, for instance, is reasonably allocated with virtual machines, containers, and orchestrators and managed with CI/CD pipelines. Network elasticity seems to be lacking in implementation.
