#High Availability

"High availability" is the boastful promise that a system will never stop, yet in reality it spawns the hell of redundancy and the endless toil of constant monitoring. Companies chant it like a magic incantation, only to dump all responsibility on IT the moment anything goes wrong. It is like expecting an immortal server while turning late-night team gatherings into reboot festivals. In truth, it is a self-fulfilling ritual that wastes bandwidth, power, and human resources. But once achieved, it is rewarded by the greatest gift of all: user apathy.
