Understanding the Reliability Pillar: The Reliability pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on the ability of a system to recover from infrastructure or service disruptions, dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand, and mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues.
Key Concepts of Reliability:
Foundations: Ensure a solid foundation on which to build, including AWS account management, limits, and networking.
Change Management: Manage changes in automation to ensure systems remain reliable during modifications.
Failure Management: Design systems to detect failures and automatically recover from them.
How to Align with Reliability Pillar:
Implement Multi-AZ Deployments: Deploy applications across multiple Availability Zones to ensure fault tolerance.
Use Auto Scaling: Automatically adjust resources to maintain system performance during demand fluctuations.
Monitor and Respond: Implement monitoring and alerting mechanisms using services like CloudWatch to detect and respond to issues proactively.
