Grazed from CloudTech. Author: Editorial Staff.

Reliability, in the cloud technology era, can be defined as the likelihood that a system will provide uninterrupted fault-free services, as it is expected to, within the constraints of the environment in which it operates. According to the Information Technology Laboratories (ITL) bulletin published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on cloud computing, reliability in cloud environments is composed of the following:

• The hardware and software services offered by the cloud service provider
• The provider’s and consumers’ personnel
• The connectivity to the services…

In other words, reliability is dependent primarily on connectivity, availability of the services when needed, and the personnel managing and using the system. The focus of this article is about how DevOps can improve reliability when deploying in the cloud, particularly in Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments…
