The Reliability pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework provides principles and recommendations to help you design, deploy, and manage reliable, resilient, and highly available workloads in Google Cloud. A reliable system consistently performs its intended functions under defined conditions, is resilient to failures, and recovers gracefully from disruptions, thereby minimizing downtime, enhancing user experience, and ensuring data integrity. The recommendations in the reliability pillar of the Well-Architected Framework are aligned with the following core principles: Define reliability based on user-experience goals : Measurement of reliability should reflect the actual experience of the system's users rather than merely relying on infrastructure metrics. Focus on outcomes that matter most to users. Grounding document: Set realistic targets for reliability : Determine appropriate Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that balance the cost and complexity of maximizing availability against business requirements. Utilize error budgets to manage feature velocity. Grounding document: Build highly available systems through resource redundancy : Eliminate single points of failure by duplicating critical components across zones and regions to maintain operations during localized outages. Grounding document: Take advantage of horizontal scalability : Design system architectures...
