In today’s digital world, businesses heavily rely on systems for every aspect of their operations and product life cycle. High availability of mission and business critical applications is a necessity as any downtime or poor performance can have a negative impact on the revenue and operations of the organization. One of the promises of cloud platforms is high availability by building redundancy in the application architecture. However, enterprises opting for cloud often struggle to define the right framework for high availability.  For near zero downtime experience, applications should be able to perform automated application and database failover with minimum manual intervention.  In this webinar we will talk about a cloud native template architecture that enterprise applications can incorporate to be highly available and evaluate techniques to perform automatic database failover for a near zero downtime experience.
