Just for clarity, an architecture is when we really dig into how we put together the given solution.Īnd then what do we mean with the term mission critical? It's basically a business requirement where you need your solution to be highly available, reliable, and performant, or else it's going to have a significant cost to your business, whether it's financial or related to the success of your business (such as safety and overall reputation). Some people might call this a solution instead. You'll usually string together many services, APIs, and data to get the final functionality you're after. And a workload is just a bunch of services, technologies, and resources that support a unified business goal or solution, that meets your needs. Well, it means you're building an app on Azure.

What exactly is a mission-critical application or workload? Oh no! Not another buzzword! (Or is it a term? Is buzzterm a word?)
