Free preview lesson · Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure Design · Module 1: Architecture pillars
Reliability and security
Every cloud design is a set of trade-offs. The architecture pillars give you a checklist so none of them is ignored.
Reliability
Can the system survive the failure of a component, a zone or a region?
Security and performance
Is access controlled and data protected, and does the system meet response-time needs?
Cost
What does it cost at normal and peak load, and who watches the bill?
Common pitfall
Optimising one pillar, often performance, without checking the cost.
Action step
Score one system you know from 1 to 5 on each pillar and note the weakest.
