How to interpret the checklist
Completion does not prove high availability. The value comes from the evidence behind each answer: diagrams, provider confirmations, test records, capacity measurements and recovery results.
Mark an item complete only when the relevant owner can show how the requirement is met.
Common false redundancy
- Two circuits in one conduit
- Two servers using one storage array
- Two cloud zones with one regional dependency
- Two administrators using one identity account
- Replicated data without a historical backup
- A standby system that has never carried production load
