What is the Operational Resilience Engineering course about?

When infrastructure collapses under load, generic continuity templates fall apart. Engineers are left scrambling without clear protocols, tested failover paths, or alignment across teams. Downtime escalates, stakeholder trust erodes, and the root cause remains hidden behind incomplete runbooks. The cost isn’t just technical , it’s operational, financial, and reputational.
