What is CNAP?

The Cloud Native Application Platform (CNAP) is a revolutionary solution designed to simplify the complex world of cloud-native software deployment, management, and monetization. It serves as a unified ecosystem that brings together developers, infrastructure providers, and end-users, creating a seamless experience for all parties involved in the cloud-native application lifecycle.

​
Core Principles

  1. Simplicity: CNAP aims to be the fastest way to use cloud-native software, eliminating the complexities often associated with cloud deployments.
  2. Standardization: By leveraging Cloud Native Application Bundles (CNABs), CNAP provides a consistent method for packaging, distributing, and managing applications.
  3. Flexibility: CNAP is built on flexible standards and doesn’t enforce specific app structures, runtimes, languages, or deployment configs.
  4. Integration: The platform seamlessly integrates with existing tools and workflows, enhancing rather than replacing current DevOps practices.

​
Key Features

  • Self-Service App Installs: Users can easily deploy applications without vendor lock-in.
  • Team Sharing: Collaborate effortlessly by sharing bundles (software + operations) within your team.
  • Monetization: From free to paid apps, CNAP facilitates the monetization of software installations and operations.
  • Multi-Cloud Support: Deploy on-premises, in hybrid environments, or on public clouds.
  • Operational Expertise Shift: Empower developers by embedding operational knowledge into deliverables.
  • Centralized Management: Unify cloud platforms and teams with a central hub for all cloud-native activities.
