Architecting for high availability
Application and network errors can render the system unavailable to the user. Multi-availability zone deployments are used for building high-availability applications at the AWS region level. For implementing fault tolerance for region level failures, we have to deploy our application in availability zones spanning across different regions. If we use multiple regions, we have to use Route 53 for failover. If the primary region goes down, Route 53 fails over to the secondary region.
