Free preview: Reliability and security — Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure Design

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.
