Ensuring Application Resilience During Network Events

The performance of network devices like firewalls and routers is crucial for application stability. Overloaded devices can lead to a cascading failure, causing packet loss and session interruptions. In a large-scale event, overloaded network devices at AWS affected the control plane, preventing changes while services continued running. This highlights the importance of network scalability to prevent service disruption and the challenges of resolving cascading failures in such situations.
