“Zero downtime” and “always-on” are illusions. All systems fail sooner or later, whether it’s a regional e-commerce website or a major cloud region hosting thousands of applications. That’s why, instead of chasing these illusions, it’s worth focusing on the nines of availability.

Based on true stories, this session walks you through modern data availability and reliability patterns used by architects whose applications withstood major cloud outages. With the focus on the data storage layer and Kubernetes, you’ll learn:

* How to architect the data layer in Kubernetes with the server, zone, and region-level resiliency in mind.

* How to find a compromise between latency and availability for multi-region deployments.

* How to ensure the data layer remains reliable (i.e., always returns expected data) even during a major incident.
