Abstract
In previous chapters, we reviewed the incredible demands imposed on your cloud applications. Customers expect your application to be available, reliable, and responsive every time they log in. While these are great goals to strive for, given the complexity of most applications, failures are inevitable. In this chapter, you will learn how the most sophisticated cloud vendors are learning from their failures, and, more importantly, the techniques used to identify failure areas and deal with those inevitable failures. Dealing with failure quickly will definitely lead to success.
