Question

How can Senior DevOps Engineers ensure the high availability and dependability of infrastructure and applications?

Answer 1

Senior DevOps Engineers should implement redundancy, failover mechanisms, and load balancing for high availability. They should automate deployments, utilize infrastructure as code (IaC), regularly test disaster recovery plans, and monitor systems for performance and anomalies. Following DevOps principles, they should foster collaboration between development and operations teams, prioritize security measures, and continuously optimize processes for reliability, ensuring rapid response to issues and minimizing downtime.
