Regulators expect systems to be resilient and recover from failures costing hundreds of thousands per hour. While in-house disaster recovery solutions are attempted, testing shows only about 60% success according to a study. True resilience must be designed, implemented and maintained, not assumed from cloud alone. The document proposes a four-step approach to build effective cloud resiliency.
