I think this one from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) works:

Cloud-native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach.

These techniques enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. Combined with robust automation, they allow engineers to make high-impact changes frequently and predictably with minimal toil.

Thanks for sharing Jeremy.

I'm looking to collect different views for a book I'm writing titled Cloud Native Web Development. My working theory is that everyone has a slightly different view of what it means, which is perfectly fine and would support a point I made in the book.
