Abstract	Cloud-native technologies are transforming how businesses build and run applications, enabling them to become more agile, scalable, and faster through automation. However, regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government have unique challenges in their adoption of this technology because of strict compliance rules, data sovereignty laws, auditability, and security requirements. In this paper, provides detailed study on the cloud-native design patterns, customized for the regulated environments. also will investigate trends like Immutable Infrastructure, Sidecar Proxy, Compliance-as-Code, Zero Trust Architecture, Service Mesh and their success in satisfying regulatory requirements without slowing down agility and innovation. And focus on bringing back real-world use cases and evaluation matrix to offer a framework that can provide insights and direction to run the cloud native architecture from a regulation “compliance” key standards as GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS among others. The research offers a blueprint for architects and DevSecOps teams to create secure, auditable, and compliant cloud-native systems in challenging governance environments.
Keywords	Cloud-native compliance, regulated environments, secure architecture, policy-as-code, zero trust.
