Warren is the CTO of Authress and an AWS Community Builder who believes that "in theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice, they differ." As a Cloud Security Architect and international speaker, he's built a reputation as a "Tech Entertainer"—delivering hard engineering truths with a side of wit. He focuses on the physics of software reliability, arguing that unmaintained code is a liability. When he designing securing strategies, he is likely on stage dismantling the latest industry hype.
Here I'll share, how when our cloud provider was down, how we were still up. Running critical components requires a completely different mindset when the required uptime is five nines. Can a service even have a 99.999% uptime guarantee? It's easy to promise, but delivering on that is something else. What works at two or three nines can't work when components become critical. The math actually tells us this.
You'll get a full review of how we managed to promise such a high up time, if it is even possible to make it happen, and how we think about it. From this talk attendees will learn key trade-offs in elevating the reliability of their solutions.
Key Takeaways — The core components of a highly reliable solution, Lessons learned in the process, Architecture strategies to increase the reliability.
