Cloud & DevOps question 27

A request must pass through a web server and then a database server, and both must work for the request to succeed. If each has 99% availability and they fail independently, what is the availability of the whole system?

  1. 99%
  2. 99.99%
  3. 99.5%
  4. 98.01%
Answer and explanation

Answer: D. 98.01%

Explanation: Components in series multiply: 0.99 × 0.99 = 0.9801 = 98.01%. 99.99% would apply to two redundant components in parallel, where only one needs to work.

Previous: A service promises 99.9% availability per 30-day month. What is the maximum… · Next: When does a cron job with the schedule 30 2 * * 1 run?
