Downtime costs money for every hour it lasts, and anything written since your last good backup is gone. Most teams cannot say how many hours or how much data, because the recovery plan has never been run.
Untested backups fail when you need them. A single-Region estate has no answer when that Region degrades, and an unrehearsed rollback turns a planned migration into an unplanned outage.
Cloud Life Consulting establishes your recovery targets with you, and delivers the architecture to meet them. We are a hands-on engineering team, so where we find a resilience problem we remediate it.
Every change lands as infrastructure as code in your repository, and nothing is signed off on configuration alone. Failover, restore and rollback are each exercised with your engineers present.
What can you expect?
One describes the lifecycle a resilient application moves through. The other describes what resilient actually means, and the ways it stops being true. Between them they cover what to build, how to prove it, and how to keep it true after we leave.
AWS describes resilience as an application's ability to resist a disruption or recover from one, whether that disruption comes from infrastructure, a dependency, a misconfiguration or the network. Reaching any given level of it costs something in engineering effort, operational complexity and monthly spend, so the lifecycle starts by deciding how much you need.
What resilient means
A workload can be fully redundant and still be slow, wrong, or able to take its neighbours down with it. Redundancy is the property most resilience work stops at. We work through all five.
A business impact analysis puts a number on what an hour of impairment costs each application, and those numbers are never level. An order path that stops taking revenue and an internal page that irritates people are different problems. Protecting them identically overspends on one and leaves the other exposed. We do that analysis before the architecture conversation, so the investment lands where the exposure actually is.
An application that met its objectives last year may not meet them now. Dependencies change, traffic grows, somebody adds a component, a service quota moves. The lifecycle is built to run continuously, which in practice means periodic Well-Architected reviews, an Operational Readiness Review before anything significant ships, the failure analysis re-run on a schedule, and a blameless write-up after every real event that feeds the next round. That cadence is what we hand to your team in the final phase.
How an engagement runs
Few customers need every area and some are not ready for all of them, so we agree what applies before any work starts.
The engagement bills against your existing AWS agreement and draws down your committed spend. Pricing is based on your requirements and eligibility, so scope depends on the size of the estate, the number of workloads in scope and what has to be tested.
