Despite its benefits, Cloud Native also introduces challenges. The complexity of microservices, containers and distributed systems requires new skills and expertise within teams. Without proper governance and security policies, risks can arise around data protection, compliance and cost control. There is also the potential risk of vendor lock in. For this reason, Cloud Native should be adopted in a phased and strategic way, with attention to architecture, automation and observability. With the right approach, these risks are manageable and outweighed by the benefits.
