AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

Design for automated recovery from failure is a core well-architected design principle in cloud computing because:

• Resilience: Cloud applications should automatically detect failures and recover without manual intervention

• High Availability: Automated recovery ensures minimal downtime and maintains service continuity

• Cloud Best Practice: This aligns with AWS Well-Architected Framework's Reliability pillar

• Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual intervention and operational overhead

Why other options are incorrect:

• Keep static data closer to compute resources: While this can improve performance, it's not a fundamental design principle

• Provision resources for peak capacity: This is actually an anti-pattern in cloud computing; you should provision for average usage and scale as needed

• Use tightly coupled components: This creates dependencies that reduce flexibility and resilience, which contradicts cloud best practices
