Creating Infrastructure That is Resilient: Some Cloud Engineering Within information technology (IT) today, creating resilient cloud infrastructure has become an imperative part of a digital transformation journey. Resilient infrastructure not only allows applications and services to function correctly but also reduces downtime and the effects of any failures to the end-user experience. Cloud engineering is a significant part of designing and engineering systems in such a way that they tolerate disruptions and continue to operate at acceptable levels.
This article will cover the various methodologies and practices for creating resilient cloud infrastructure.
1. Resilience in cloud computing In cloud engineering, resilience can be defined as a system’s capability of recovering from failures and continuing to operate in an acceptable manner. This can be done by designing architectures to be fault-tolerant, highly available, and have self-healing properties. The ultimate goal is to prevent users from experiencing any dislocations regardless of an unforeseen event.
2. Fault-tolerant architectures A core principle of resilience includes fault-tolerance. Fault-tolerance is simply guaranteeing that a system operates correctly when system components fail to operate correctly or at all. Cloud engineers achieve fault-tolerance through the design of multi-zone and/or multi-regional architectures; workloads can be distributed over data-centers that are undeniably dispersed. Since these data-center workloads are not in a single location, a localized failure cannot defeat the entire system. Additionally, redundancy
