Building Resilient Systems
By External Provider
About this course
Building resilient systems requires more than knowing individual tools—it demands the ability to design architectures that anticipate failure and recover effectively. In this intermediate course, you will learn how to apply resilience engineering principles to modern distributed systems, focusing on high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery planning. You will analyze how and why systems fail, identify hidden risks in system architecture, and design strategies that improve uptime and reliability. The course connects key concepts such as load balancing, redundancy, observability, and incident response into a cohesive resilience strategy aligned with business goals like RTO and RPO. Designed for IT professionals, DevOps engineers, and system architects, this course emphasizes practical decision-making, trade-offs, and operational readiness. By the end, you will be able to design resilient architectures, strengthen system reliability, and lead effective incident management and continuous improvement practices.
What you will learn
- Explain core resilience engineering principles and differentiate between failure types in modern distributed systems.
- Analyze system architectures to identify single points of failure and resilience gaps that could impact availability.
- Develop disaster recovery strategies aligned with defined business requirements such as RTO and RPO.
- Evaluate monitoring, observability, and incident response practices to improve system reliability and operational resilience.
