Case 17
Self Healing Infrastructure
Self Healing Infrastructure: Problem: Transient infrastructure failures can become user-facing incidents when recovery depends on manual detection. Constraints: False positives, blast radius, rollback safety, observability confirmation, and human override. Architecture: Failure detection with health signals, bounded remediation actions, chaos validation, alert correlation, and operator approval for risky paths. Result: Common failure modes can recover faster while preserving control over high-risk actions.
