To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. Components of high availability infrastructure Multiple copies of data Data redundancy helps prevent data loss due to hardware or software failures. Redundancy is also critical for disaster recovery.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error.
