Resilience Architect

Master the art of keeping distributed systems alive. Explore the critical differences between High Availability (staying online) and Disaster Recovery (surviving the worst).

dns High Availability (HA)

HA aims to eliminate single points of failure. The goal is to keep the application running despite component failures (e.g., a server crash).

Key Concepts

  • check_circle Redundancy: Duplicating critical components.
  • check_circle Load Balancing: Distributing traffic across healthy nodes.
  • check_circle Failover: Automatically switching to a backup.
