Episode 10: High Availability & Fault Tolerance

In this episode, we explore the important concepts of high availability and fault tolerance within AWS Cloud, using the analogy of a utility grid to make these concepts easier to understand. Just like how utility grids are designed to provide continuous service despite outages, AWS uses redundancy and failover mechanisms to ensure your applications remain operational even in the event of hardware failures or other issues. We’ll break down how AWS achieves high availability and fault tolerance through multi-AZ deployments, automatic failover, and backup solutions.

We’ll also discuss how these features impact your ability to design and deploy reliable applications in the cloud. Whether you’re building a simple website or complex enterprise solutions, ensuring your systems are fault-tolerant will improve both reliability and user experience. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand the critical role high availability plays in your AWS architecture.
