Let's look at a few of these considerations. First, we spoke about availability as a security consideration, but it's also an operational concern. One of the core measures of cloud performance is that service's availability. What percentage of time is the service up and running and meeting customer needs? We can increase availability by increasing our resiliency. Resiliency is the ability of the cloud infrastructure to withstand disruptive events.
