High reliability

Reliability is a measure of the confidence in a system, and is inversely proportional to the probability of failure.

Reliability is measured using several metrics:

Mean time between failures (MTBF): Uptime/number of failures
Mean time to repair (MTTR): The average time it takes the team to fix a failure and return the system online
