Amin Momin of @CapgeminiGlobal talks about reliability takes dedicated effort beyond just using the cloud and setting up failover. Find out how to be reliable with Gremlin → https://www.gremlin.com/

Full transcript:
 There are two misconceptions about reliability. One is people only think failover is reliability. Just doing the failover, that will be enough from the reliability point of view. That's the first one.

And the second one: we are deployed into the cloud, so it is the service provider's responsibility to provide the reliability.

Everything should be reliable, starting from the global load balancer, then you have the local load balancer, you have application, you have interface, you have network, you have infrastructure. Everything should be reliable.

That's the first advice. The second one is about the cloud. Yes, the cloud providers, each is responsible to give you the infrastructure availability. But there is more than that, right? You will have to make sure applications are reliable, if you are relying on external critical services, that interface is reliable.

So even though you are on the cloud, the reliability is as equally important as on-prem.
