Architectural resilience and system availability are closely related concepts. Architectural resilience refers to the ability of a system to continue operating and providing essential services in the face of disruptions or failures. System availability, on the other hand, refers to the percentage of time a system is operational and able to deliver its services as expected.
There is a direct relationship between architectural resilience and system availability. A system that is designed to be resilient will have a higher availability because it can quickly recover from disruptions and continue operating. Conversely, a system that lacks resilience will have lower availability because it is more likely to fail and suffer long periods of downtime.
Architectural resilience can be achieved through various strategies such as redundancy, fault tolerance, graceful degradation, and quick recovery strategies. These strategies aim to minimize the impact of disruptions and ensure the system continues to operate normally.
In summary, architectural resilience and system availability go hand in hand, with the former being a critical factor in achieving the latter. A resilient system is more likely to have higher availability, ensuring that essential services are always available to users.
