Cloud native information systems engineering enables scalable and resilient software architectures powering major online offerings. Today, these are built following agile development practices. At the same time, a growing demand for privacy-friendly services is articulated by societal norms and policy through effective legislative frameworks. In this paper, we (i) identify conceptual dimensions of cloud native privacy engineering – that is, bringing together cloud computing fundamentals and privacy regulation – and propose an integrative approach to be addressed to overcome the shortcomings of existing privacy enhancing technologies in practice and evaluating existing system designs. Furthermore, we (ii) propose a reference software development lifecycle called DevPrivOps to enhance established agile development methods with respect to privacy. Altogether, we show that cloud native privacy engineering opens up key advances to the state of the art of privacy by design and by default using latest technologies.
