Outage data shows cloud apps must be designed for failure

One of the most significant differences between cloud and traditional (i.e., non-cloud) software is how resiliency is built into the applications. When architecting a cloud application, the onus is on software developers to architect resiliency in their application architecture. Conversely, in a more traditional application, data center teams, infrastructure engineers and software developers work together to meet resiliency requirements.

In traditional architecture, applications run on a single server that contains an operating system. If the server fails, the application becomes unavailable. Resiliency features are often integrated into the server and data center to prevent outages.
