Reliability concepts: Availability, Resiliency, Robustness, Fault-Tolerance, and Reliability

I came across a comprehensive list of essential topics related to Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), particularly emphasizing the aspect of Reliability. You can find the list here.

Now, let’s delve into the distinctions between the key concepts: Availability, Resiliency, Robustness, Fault-Tolerance, and Reliability.

In essence, these concepts share close ties but each has its own specific focus:

These principles are fundamental in ensuring the effectiveness and dependability of modern systems and applications, particularly in the field of Site Reliability Engineering.
