What is Resiliency?

Resiliency, in the context of technology, refers to the ability of a system or component to recover quickly from failures and continue operating despite disruptions. It involves designing systems to withstand and adapt to adverse conditions such as hardware failures, software errors, network outages, and even cyberattacks. Common strategies for achieving resiliency include redundancy (having backup systems), failover mechanisms (automatically switching to backup systems), fault tolerance (designing systems to continue operating despite faults), and disaster recovery planning (procedures for restoring systems after a major disruption).
