Here are capability domains to consider when building platforms for cloud-native computing:
- Web portals for observing and provisioning products and capabilities
- APIs (and CLIs) for automatically provisioning products and capabilities
- “Golden path” templates and docs enabling optimal use of capabilities in products
- Automation for building and testing services and products
- Automation for delivering and verifying services and products
- Development environments such as hosted IDEs and remote connection tools
- Observability for services and products using instrumentation and dashboards, including observation of functionality, performance and costs
- Infrastructure services including compute runtimes, programmable networks, and block and volume storage
- Data services including databases, caches, and object stores
- Messaging and event services including brokers, queues, and event fabrics
- Identity and secret management services such as service and user identity and authorization, certificate and key issuance, and static secret storage
- Security services including static analysis of code and artifacts, runtime analysis, and policy enforcement
- Artifact storage including storage of container image and language-specific packages, custom binaries and libraries, and source code
IDP
An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) should be built to cover 5 Core Components:
| Core Component | Short Description |
|---|---|
| Application Configuration Management | Manage application configuration in a dynamic, scalable and reliable way. |
| Infrastructure Orchestration | Orchestrate your infrastructure in a dynamic and intelligent way depending on the context. |
| Environment Management | Enable developers to create new and fully provisioned environments whenever needed. |
| Deployment Management | Implement a delivery pipeline for Continuous Delivery or even Continuous Deployment (CD). |
| Role-Based Access Control | Manage who can do what in a scalable way. |
