Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework skill for the Reliability pillar
Overview
The Reliability pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework provides
principles and recommendations to help you design, deploy, and manage reliable,
resilient, and highly available workloads in Google Cloud. A reliable system
consistently performs its intended functions under defined conditions, is
resilient to failures, and recovers gracefully from disruptions, thereby
minimizing downtime, enhancing user experience, and ensuring data integrity.
Core principles
The recommendations in the reliability pillar of the Well-Architected Framework
are aligned with the following core principles:
-
Define reliability based on user-experience goals: Measurement of
reliability should reflect the actual experience of the system's users rather
than merely relying on infrastructure metrics. Focus on outcomes that matter
most to users. Grounding document:

-
Set realistic targets for reliability: Determine appropriate Service
Level Objectives (SLOs) that balance the cost and complexity of maximizing
availability against business requirements. Utilize error budgets to manage
feature velocity. Grounding document:
