In this episode, we dive into two non-negotiable concepts for any modern cloud architecture: high availability and scalability. We'll break down how high availability ensures your application stays up and running, even when faced with disruptions, and what Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) from providers like Azure really mean for your uptime. Then, we'll explore the critical role of scalability in adapting to fluctuating workloads and controlling costs in a consumption-based model. We'll compare and contrast the two primary scaling strategies—vertical vs. horizontal scaling—to help you understand which approach is right for your application. Tune in to build a stronger foundation for your cloud knowledge.
