Building Resilient Architectures on AWS

Understanding Resilience Concepts

Being able to build a fully resilient application environment is a daunting task for many of us. Simply defining what resilience even means varies based on several factors. For example, simply being able to quickly reboot a standalone server when an application is running out of memory might be considered as having a resilient environment if that is what you are looking for. However, when the term resilient is brought up, the typical expectation is that we are aiming to build an architecture that is resilient to all internal and external influencing factors and will exhibit high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability under all circumstances.

In this book, we will help provide clarity about resiliency, dive deep into what resilient architecture looks like, and explore the measures you can take to build a resilient design that serves the resilience goals you have set for your applications. The book will primarily focus on services and features...

Demystifying resilience

Resilient infrastructure architecture is a design that can withstand and recover from disruptions quickly. It is built on the principle of redundancy, with multiple layers of protection that can be activated in the event of a failure. This approach helps to ensure that critical systems are always available, even in the face of major disruptions.

One of the famous quotes from Werner Vogels (CTO, Amazon) is –

“Everything fails all the time.”

With time, failure is imminent. No matter how well you design your infrastructure, something is going to give up and fail at some point. The idea behind resiliency is to be intentional about understanding this reality and building systems that are able to recover from failures quickly without causing catastrophic business disruptions that cause huge financial impact.

The concept of resiliency is best understood when we examine the commercial aviation industry. Almost all parts and functions...

Facing the cloud’s storms

While AWS offers an environment that is generally regarded to offer high availability, security, and scalability compared to typical on-premise environments, it is up to you as the builder to design your architecture in a way that effectively makes use of necessary features to build an environment that can withstand unforeseen incidents that affect your application environment.

AWS offers a secure, scalable, and resilient environment for you to run your workloads. AWS has Regions all over the globe, with each Region having multiple Availability Zones (AZs) within. An AWS Region is a distinct geographical area where AWS clusters its data centers. Each Region is completely independent and isolated from other Regions, providing fault tolerance and high availability. They allow you to deploy your applications and store your data closer to your users for reduced latency and improved performance. In a Region, an AWS AZ is an isolated location that is shielded...

The continuous resilience journey

The resilience lifecycle framework provided by AWS is a structured and iterative process designed to foster resilience at every stage of an application’s lifecycle. It encompasses a five-stage approach that addresses the entire spectrum, from planning and design to operation and continuous improvement. By adhering to this framework, organizations can construct and maintain highly resilient applications capable of withstanding disruptions and delivering value consistently, even in challenging circumstances.

Nevertheless, achieving resilience is not a one-time endeavor; rather, it is an ongoing process. Resilience constitutes a journey that necessitates continuous monitoring, refinement, and improvement. Tracking crucial metric parameters, such as SLAs, RTOs, and RPOs enables organizations to adopt a scientific approach to resilience goals. Furthermore, implementing processes such as Operational Readiness Reviews (ORRs) assists in identifying...

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the significance of resilience in building reliable and robust applications. We introduced the resilience lifecycle framework, developed by AWS to help organizations continuously improve the resilience of their applications.

We also highlighted the benefits of following the resilience lifecycle framework, including reduced risk of downtime and data loss, improved operational efficiency, enhanced customer experience, and increased confidence and trust.

To achieve resilience, organizations should view it as an ongoing process, continuously monitoring, tuning, and improving their resilience strategies. Tracking important metric parameters such as SLA, RTO, and RPO enables a scientific approach to resilience goals.

We explored the ORR process, a checklist of questions designed to help organizations identify and solve business problems related to resilience.

Finally, the chapter emphasized the importance of incorporating security measures...

Description

Building systems that can withstand failure is key to running a successful business on the cloud. Learn from distinguished AWS experts—Ajit, Imaya, and Rodrigue—who bring over four decades of experience in architecting enterprise-scale solutions, speaking at major AWS conferences, and implementing resilience strategies across diverse industries, as they guide you through building highly available and fault-tolerant applications on AWS. This book explores resiliency, offering steps to design, build, and operate resilient architectures on AWS. You’ll master data security practices, backup strategies, and automation techniques, helping you build strong defenses and reliable recovery plans for resilience against disruptions. You’ll also learn how to apply AWS Well-Architected pillars to design applications with redundancy, loose coupling, graceful degradation, and fault isolation. With architecture examples, you’ll validate your design’s effectiveness through resilient patterns, performance monitoring, and chaos engineering. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with best practices for creating robust cloud infrastructures to ensure business continuity and success and become proficient at creating fault-tolerant systems, optimizing performance, and ensuring reliability across regions.

Who is this book for?

The book is for developers, architects, site reliability engineers, and IT managers who use cloud services for their workloads. It is particularly valuable for those using AWS to develop, deploy, and operate their applications. Prior knowledge of public cloud, architecting highly available infrastructure and applications, software development, deployment, and DevOps practices is assumed.

What you will learn

  • Master the key concepts and principles of building resilience in the cloud
  • Architect modern applications using serverless and containers following best practices
  • Use the AWS Well-Architected Framework to build durable architectures
  • Anticipate operational events with chaos engineering techniques

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
