High Availabily vs Fault Tolerance vs Disaster Recovery Flashcards
having redundant copies of an object or resource to make sure that another can
take its place when something happens to it
High Availability
Ensure and agreed level of operational performance (uptime) for a higher-than-normal period
High availability
99.9% availibility
8.77 hours of downtime per year
99.999% availability
5.26 minutes of downtime per year
Means that a system can continue operating even if one or more components begin to degrade and fail.
Fault-Tolerance
When a component begins to fail, the system detects this and replaces the faulty component to restore working operations
Fault-Tolerance
When a component begins to fail, the system detects this and reroutes the
operation to somewhere else that is healthy
Fault-Tolerance
Ensuring that you have a standardized plan on how to recover your
operations in case of total failure
Disaster Recovery
having a copy of your infrastructure running in a different location, so that if your primary experiences a disaster, you can quickly failover to your secondary
Disaster Recovery
amount of time that you have to bring back up
your operation
RTO
