Planning for High Availability and Incident Response

In this course, we will look at how SREs view availability and reliability for their infrastructure. We'll learn how to create effective monitoring using SLOs and SLIs. We will create dashboards in Grafana. Next, we'll identify all our IT assets, ensure they are configured for high availability. And then we will craft a disaster recovery plan to make sure failover is seamless and automated. After that, we'll deploy the infrastructure to AWS using Terraform. We'll learn the benefits of infrastructure as code. We'll see how easy it is to deploy to multiple regions. Finally, we'll learn how to make databases highly available and disaster recovery ready. We'll look at recovery strategies and implement them in AWS via Terraform.
