Multi-cloud failover Kubernetes architecture
For years, companies have trusted single cloud providers, much like empires once relied on a single trade route or energy source. This approach worked—until it didn’t. The moment AWS or Azure experienced an outage, entire systems crumbled, exposing a fundamental weakness in modern cloud infrastructure. But what if we could design architectures that not only withstand failure, but also adapt to it?
In our latest article, we explore how to build a multi-cloud Kubernetes architecture that eliminates downtime. By using Terraform to provision clusters in AWS and Azure, CloudFlare to intelligently route traffic, ArgoCD to deploy applications, and Prometheus and AlertManager to monitor everything, we create an infrastructure that is not only operational, but also resilient by design.
This isn’t just a technical guide; it’s a plan for the future of cloud infrastructure. Instead of reacting to outages, we make sure that our system can automatically switch to another cloud if one has a problem. We even test our system by simulating a failure scenario, which shows that with the right design, downtime will be a thing of the past. In the cloud era, having a strong system is no longer a bonus; it’s a must. The companies that survive will be those that build for uncertainty, embracing architectures that are as dynamic as the challenges they face.
