What makes an AWS workload reliable and recoverable?

Spread components across multiple AZs, monitor health and capacity, and back up data with retention. Define RTO/RPO, copy backups off‑region, and practice restores. Load test before big events and automate failover where supported to keep recovery quick and predictable.
