Struggling to figure out what "cloud native" actually means. Unfortunately their own web site doesn't say and the CNCF web site they link to leaves me none the wiser.

At a guess they are talking about applications being built from the ground up to dynamically allocate resources using cloud providers APIs directly rather than relying on an assumption fixed resources are already provisioned and the application runs within them.

I wonder if I'm right ...

- very fast startup

- low memory

- can be easily distributed or is stateless

That is not what cloud native means. It is an overloaded term, but the basic idea is that the application is designed to operate in the cloud environment, utilizing cloud's capabilities such as elastic and automated infrastructure management.
