What can go wrong? Always ask yourself 7
Fault Tolerance 101 8
Fault Error Failure A fault is a latent defect that
can cause an error when activated. 9
Fault Error Failure Errors are the manifestations of faults. 10
Fault Error Failure Failure occurs when the service no longer
complies with its specifications. 11
Fault Error Failure Errors are inevitable. We need to detect,
recover and mitigate them before they become failures. 12
Reliability is the probability that a system will perform failure
free for a given amount of time. MTTF Mean Time To Failure MTTR Mean Time To Repair 13
Availability is the percentage of time the system is able
to perform its function. availability = MTTF MTTF + MTTR 14

Fault Tolerant Architecture 19
Units of Mitigation are the basic units of error containment
and recovery. 20
Escalation is used when recovery or mitigation is not possible
inside the unit. 21

Detecting Errors 30
A silent system is a dead system. 31
A System Monitor helps to study behaviour and to make
sure it is operating as specified. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Mission_control_center.jpg 32

Periodic Checking Heartbeats monitor tasks or remote services and initiate
recovery Routine Exercises prevent idle unit starvation and surface malfunctions 34

Riding over Transients is used to defer error recovery if
the error is temporary. “‘Patience is a virtue’ to allow the true signature of an error to show itself.” - Robert S. Hanmer 36

detected and isolated. Cost Active/Active Active/Standby N+M Cost Time To Recover Redundancy Reminder 41

Restart can be used as a last resort with the
trade-off to lose state and time. 43
Fail Fast to shed load and give a partial great
service than a complete bad one. Boundary 44
