Enabling Full Cycle Development: 4 Cloud Native Platform Capabilities involves providing a platform that supports self-service functionality, container management, progressive delivery, edge management, and observability. This enables full cycle developers to run through the entire SDLC independently with speed and confidence, becoming more customer-focused and delivering verifiable value to end-users. Platform teams must remove friction from packaging applications into containers, enabling observation of system behavior, and assisting organizations in understanding and meeting security requirements. The four core cloud platform capabilities are container management, progressive delivery, edge management, and observability management, which require careful consideration to avoid common antipatterns such as centralized design and ownership, fragmented platform implementation, slow development loops, and inefficient outer development loops. By designing and building an effective platform, organizations can support the teams and workflow, leveraging technology like Kubernetes to achieve this goal.
