There are four sub-domains.

Building highly available fault tolerant systems in the production environment relies on separating components of a system into a loosely coupled distributed system. This ensures that failure in one part of the system is less able to effect other parts of the system. AWS services and features then enable decoupling are SQS, CloudWatch, CloudTrail and SageMaker Notebook end points.

Scalability is the property of a system to automatically provision more resources when needed and to scale back those resources to reduce waste when demand is low. AWS services and features that enable scalability are Autoscaling and containerised ML models, which are Docker images.
