Update DEFINITION.md | correct term is "cloud-native" #1483

Closed Piyush-r-bhaskar closed 1 week ago

This term is commonly used to describe applications or services that are designed to take full advantage of cloud computing environments. The hyphen helps clarify that "cloud-native" is a compound adjective.

In the case of "cloud-native," the hyphen indicates that "cloud" and "native" work together to describe a specific concept related to technology and software development.
