Understanding High Availability: Sources of Complexity and Decision Strategies

The article explains high availability as a source of system complexity, describing how redundancy, hardware and software failures, external disasters, and state‑decision mechanisms such as dictatorial, negotiated, and democratic approaches affect both compute and storage layers, and discusses trade‑offs like the CAP theorem.
