What is cloud architecture?
Cloud architecture is how individual technologies are integrated to create clouds—IT environments that abstract, pool, and share scalable resources across a network.

What is a service broker?
Service brokers hold information about the services provided, carry out the details of ordering, provisioning, and connecting these services to the application being built by the consumer, and automate steps that used to be performed by IT operations with multiple infrastructure management tools.
What is serverless?
Serverless is a cloud-native development model that allows developers to build and run applications without having to manage servers.

Understanding microservices
With microservices, applications are broken down into their smallest components, independent from each other.
What is a service mesh?
A service mesh, like the open source project Istio, is a way to control how different parts of an application share data with one another.

What is provisioning?
Provisioning is the process of creating and setting up IT infrastructure, and includes the steps required to manage user and system access to various resources.
OpenShift vs. OpenStack
Red Hat OpenShift® and Red Hat OpenStack® Platform offer different (but complementary) approaches to managing cloud-based applications and services.
