Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.

Complementing the hardware is the software on the RAE and in the cloud, and bridging the software on both ends is a bi-directional control plane. For example, when running tests, the state of the device will change from “available for testing” to “in test.” In this blog post, we will focus on the latter feature set.
