Reliability

Design to prevent and quickly recover from failures.

Practices

• Define RTO/RPO per workload; test backups and restores.
• Automate change deployment and rollback; small, frequent releases.
• Use multi-AZ for critical paths; understand region strategy.

FCAI alignment

• Detects single points of failure and missing backups.
• Tracks deployment change rates vs. incidents.
• DR readiness checklists and periodic validation tasks.
