Reliability is the goal—consistent performance at intended service levels. Resiliency enables systems to withstand disruptions like infrastructure failures or load spikes without customer-visible impact. Recoverability restores normal operations after disruption exceeds resiliency limits. Azure achieves these through architectural patterns (availability zones, traffic management), operational practices (monitoring, chaos testing), and recovery services (Azure Backup, Site Recovery). Teams should assess critical workloads, validate failure-domain choices, confirm recovery paths with RTO/RPO targets, and continuously verify assumptions through controlled testing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
