Explanation

https://cloud.google.com/solutions/scalable-and-resilient-apps A well-designed application should scale seamlessly as demand increases and decreases, and be resilient enough to withstand the loss of one or more compute resources. Resilience: designed to withstand the unexpected A highly-available, or resilient, application is one that continues to function despite expected or unexpected failures of components in the system. If a single instance fails or an entire zone experiences a problem, a resilient application remains fault tolerant-continuing to function and repairing itself automatically if necessary. Because stateful information isn’t stored on any single instance, the loss of an instance-or even an entire zone-should not impact the application’s
