Tools such as AWS S3 guarantee 99.99999999999% uptime for your static assets, while services like RDS and CloudFront are designed with failover in mind, to provide HA and data availability at any given time. AWS also publishes regular whitepapers that illustrate how to architect and build resilient applications, helping businesses to decrease infrastructure and ownership costs.
