High Availability and Resilience Architecture Template
Documenting how the infrastructure survives failures through redundancy, failover, and resilience mechanisms
The High Availability and Resilience Architecture template provides a structured approach to documenting how the infrastructure survives failures through redundancy, failover, and resilience mechanisms.
Template Sections
This template includes 7 sections.
Resilience Strategy
Describe the overall resilience strategy: redundancy model, failure domains, and the failure scenarios the...
High Availability Architecture Diagram
Diagram section
Primary Resilience Pattern
Document the primary resilience pattern: active-active, active-passive, or multi-region. Describe how failover is...
Zone Failure Scenario
Document what happens when an entire availability zone fails: which services are affected, failover behaviour, and...
Component Failure Scenario
