This is just incredible, the idea of creating a failover strategy that kicks in automatically when an entire region goes dark is just mind-blowing. I mean, the fact that you simulated a catastrophic failure and it worked like a charm is just amazing. It's this kind of thinking, designing for failure from the start, that I think is really key to making these systems reliable. Very impressive Ali!

Thank you, Aryan. I completely agree with you. Shifting the mindset from trying to prevent failure to actually 'designing for it' makes a huge difference. Watching the automation take over in real-time was a great experience
It was very cheap to run but it took me a while to complete this project.
I can highly recommend it.
