Design your workload to withstand component failures
Workloads with a requirement for high availability and low mean time to recovery (MTTR) must be architected for resiliency.
Best practices
- REL11-BP01 Monitor all components of the workload to detect failures
- REL11-BP02 Fail over to healthy resources
- REL11-BP03 Automate healing on all layers
- REL11-BP04 Rely on the data plane and not the control plane during recovery
- REL11-BP05 Use static stability to prevent bimodal behavior
- REL11-BP06 Send notifications when events impact availability
- REL11-BP07 Architect your product to meet availability targets and uptime service level agreements (SLAs)
