Digital systems are nowadays mission-critical to businesses as well as being essential to individuals.
Hence, they need to be highly resilient – i.e. have high uptime despite component failures; perform well even with high workloads; and are free from functional errors.
The need for high resilience can be seen from the great public impact, huge publicity, as well as penalties to businesses and their leaders, that arise from system resiliency issues. Examples of these include a whole country’s air services suspended due to failure of a critical aviation system; foreign banks having fines and resignation of leaders due their system resilience issues; government scrutiny on chaotic system performance for online booking of popular concerts, or for errors in public digital services.
Organisations realise the importance of ensuring high resilience for their systems and are willing to make significant investments in hardware, software and skills to achieve it, so as to keep their business running smoothly, satisfy their customers, scale well to meet growing business volumes, and avoid the losses & penalties arising from resilience issues.
This course, taught by practitioners from the industry, equips IT professionals with industry best-practices (e.g. from Netflix, Google, AWS etc) to manage the systems effectively across the whole system lifecycle, to ensure high resiliency.
