How to use host redundancy to improve service reliability and availability

Cloud computing has made provisioning new servers easy, fast, and relatively cheap. Almost anyone can log into a cloud console, spin up a new server, and deploy an application.

So why is it that many services fail when a single server instance fails?

ArgoCD vs FluxCD vs Jenkins X - Battle of Declarative GitOps Tools
