Disaster Planning and Recovery Strategies
Disaster planning involves creating strategies and mechanisms to mitigate the impact of unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, system failures, cyberattacks, or human errors, on the functionality, availability, and integrity of computer systems and data. It aims to ensure business continuity and minimize downtime in the face of adverse circumstances.
Designing Reliable Systems
The article will highlight a few of the proven strategies for designing reliable systems in case of single point of failures, correlated failures, cascading failures, query of death overload, lazy deletion, etc. with solutions. In this era of cloud designing reliable systems are very important and critical to encounter system/cloud failure as the users rapidly increasing if the system gains popularity overnight. These strategies mainly focus on Google Cloud; however, you can employ these strategies in any cloud including private cloud.
Designing Google Cloud Networks
In Google Cloud, VPC networks are global, and you can either create auto mode networks and have one subnet per region or create your own custom mode network, where you get to specify which region to create a subnet in. Resources across regions can communicate using their internal IP addresses without any added interconnect. For example, the diagram on the right shows two subnets in different regions, with a server on each subnet.
