Ease of Adoption
Adopting native.cloud does not have to mean extra work. Think of it like the 12 Factor App principles: guidance, not bureaucracy. You can adopt it gradually, selectively, and in ways that fit your existing workflow.
Core Adoption Strategies
Section titled “Core Adoption Strategies”As a Reference Guide
Section titled “As a Reference Guide”When designing a new service or resource, consult the keys that apply. No process change required: just a better starting point. Using standard names upfront eliminates future migration debt.
Incremental Rollout
Section titled “Incremental Rollout”You do not need to label or annotate every resource on day one:
- Start with high-value domains: Storage retention (
storage.native.cloud/retentionDuration) and tenancy boundaries (tenancy.native.cloud/tier) often yield immediate operational value. - Apply to new infrastructure first: Enforce standard keys on newly provisioned clusters and services before backporting to legacy workloads.
- Automate in templates: Bake
native.cloudkeys into your Helm charts, Terraform modules, and CI/CD pipelines so teams adopt them effortlessly.
Assisted Adoption Tooling
Section titled “Assisted Adoption Tooling”We are building tools to accelerate discovery and simplify integration with your development workflows.
Interactive Questionnaire CLI In Development
Section titled “Interactive Questionnaire CLI ”A lightweight command-line tool designed to guide platform teams through the ontology and pinpoint the keys that provide the greatest immediate benefit.
- Guided Questions Mode: Step through structured decision prompts about your infrastructure stack, multi-tenancy model, and compliance goals.
- Conversational AI Mode: Describe your platform requirements in natural language and receive tailored key recommendations with example manifests.
AI Agent Skills & Harness Integration In Development
Section titled “AI Agent Skills & Harness Integration ”For teams using modern AI coding agents (Claude Code, Antigravity, Copilot), dedicated skills provide turnkey ontology support:
- Requirements & Discovery Skill: Analyzes architecture docs, Helm charts, or Kubernetes manifests and suggests appropriate
native.cloudkeys. - Ontology Context & Rules Skill: Provides LLMs with real-time access to key schemas, allowed values, validation constraints, and syntax rules directly within your coding session.
