When I think about cloud-native architectures, I think about disaggregation (enabling each resource type to scale independently), fine-grained units of resource allocation (enabling rapid response to changing workload demands, i.e. elasticity), and isolation (keeping tenants apart). From shared-nothing to disaggregation. The scorecard.
