Resilience on AWS
Breakout Session at Code Freeze 2023

Resilience refers to the ability for workloads to respond and quickly recover from failures. Workloads deployed to the AWS cloud follow the Shared Responsibility Model separating resilience “of” the cloud from workloads running “in” the cloud. Part of a workload’s responsibility is to think about resilience threat modeling, the scenarios where things could go wrong, and the cost, business, or mission impact. This session will review strategies and design considerations around resilience, and reference how some AWS Public Sector customers are building resilience into their mission-focused workloads.
