What is the significance of 'high availability' in cloud connectivity according to Aviatrix standards?

High availability is crucial in cloud connectivity because it ensures that network connections remain stable and reliable even in the face of component failures. This means that if one component of the network fails—such as a server, a network path, or other infrastructure components—the system can automatically reroute traffic to maintain continuous connectivity without any interruption. This capability is vital in cloud environments where downtime can lead to significant disruptions for businesses, affecting their operations and customer experiences.

By prioritizing high availability, organizations can create resilient network architectures that minimize the risk of outages, thereby sustaining performance and reliability. This aligns with Aviatrix standards, which emphasize robust network design to effectively support enterprise-grade workloads across multiple cloud environments.
