Resilience is a critical consideration for organizations operating in the cloud. Cloud resilience refers to the ability of an application to withstand and recover from various disruptions, including infrastructure failures, service dependencies, configuration issues, network problems, and sudden spikes in demand. This resilience is not only crucial for the application itself but also plays a vital role in an organization’s broader business resilience strategy, enabling them to meet digital sovereignty requirements.

In this session, we will explore the concept of resilience on AWS. We will discuss the Shared Responsibility Model, which outlines the respective responsibilities of AWS and the customer in ensuring the resilience of cloud-based workloads. Additionally, we will delve into AWS resilience best practices that can help customers improve the availability and resilience of their critical applications in the cloud. By understanding and implementing these practices, organizations can build robust, highly available, and disaster-resilient systems that can withstand and recover from various disruptions, ensuring business continuity and meeting their digital sovereignty needs.
