Cloud architectures are used broadly nowadays; the cloud is a plethora of amazing alternatives in terms of services and solutions. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and the cloud presents itself as a place where failure can and eventually will occur. Thus, consequently, it will spread upon the entire architecture fast, possibly causing massive outages that can leave a business on its knees.
Okay, that’s not an overly optimistic scenario – more likely the opposite – but not to fear. This is the nature of almost any architecture – and why should cloud be any different?
