A single cloud vendor outage halted several municipal services last year. Which resilience strategy reduces that common-mode failure risk?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When one cloud sneezes and half city hall catches a cold, you’ve got a common-mode problem. Spreading critical bets across platforms is diversity—resilience insurance. Doubling down on the same vendor just buys a bigger sneeze.
Full Explanation
Platform diversity and multi-cloud strategies reduce common-mode failure from a single provider outage by distributing critical dependencies. After a vendor outage impacts municipal services, diversifying platforms is a recognized resilience consideration. Consolidating further onto the same failure domain increases risk. Disabling monitoring delays detection and does not improve architectural resilience.
