What is the Building Resilience in High-Availability course about?

High-availability services are expected to run flawlessly, but underlying infrastructure changes can trigger unexpected outages. When they do, the pressure to restore trust and demonstrate control intensifies quickly. Traditional incident response often focuses on technical fixes, not stakeholder alignment or process learning, leaving teams reactive instead of resilient.
