Reliability in the Cloud Hosting

In 2011 the general public was introduced to the Cloud. Unfortunately, in many cases this introduction came as a result of the Cloud’s failures. Critics of the Cloud were quick to point to this outage as evidence that the Cloud Hosting can’t be trusted for business-critical Web applications.

While Cloud Hosting services introduce vast new options around flexibility and scalability, Operations teams still need to maintain a high level of diligence in designing Cloud architectures. When services are outsourced to the Cloud, it becomes easy to think of basic reliability concerns as “somebody else’s problem.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
