🚀DevOps Zero to Hero: 💡Day 16: High Availability(HA) & Disaster Recovery(DR)💥

Welcome back to our 30-day course on cloud computing! Today, we delve into the critical topics of High Availability (HA), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Testing. As businesses move their operations to the cloud, ensuring continuous availability, preparedness for unforeseen disasters, and rigorous testing become paramount. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss the principles, strategies, implementation, and testing of HA, DR, and disaster scenarios in the cloud. So, let’s get started!

High Availability (HA) and Fault Tolerance

High Availability refers to the ability of a system to remain operational and accessible, even in the face of component failures. To achieve HA, we rely on redundant components and fault tolerance mechanisms.

1. Load Balancer: Utilize a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic across multiple application servers. This ensures that if one server becomes unavailable, the load balancer redirects traffic to healthy servers.

2. Application Servers: Deploy multiple stateless application servers capable of handling user requests. This statelessness allows for easy scaling.

3. Database: Implement a highly available database solution, such as a replicated…
