This generated surface maps a learner-facing curriculum unit to its canonical source routes.

Curriculum surface​

  • Open learner-facing unit
  • Curriculum path: content/curriculum/production/semester-10-capstone/module-04-operational-readiness-security-review/concepts/cluster-04-failure-planning/10-identifying-your-capstones-three-most-likely-failures-primary.md
  • App: production
  • Semester: semester-10-capstone
  • Module: module-04-operational-readiness-security-review
  • Unit kind: concept
  • Curation level: module_curated

Learning objectives​

  • Explain Identifying Your Capstone's Three Most Likely Failures as proving the system is safe to run, inspect, and recover rather than as a final checklist before submission.
  • Use Identifying Your Capstone's Three Most Likely Failures to reason about observability, security exposure, failure handling, and whether the capstone is truly ready for real use.
  • Use building-secure-and-reliable-systems, designing-distributed-systems, software-engineering-at-google to connect the learner page to runbooks, risk review, telemetry, and defensive engineering practice.

Prerequisites​

  • Comfort with deployed software, delivery automation, and the idea that production readiness requires security, telemetry, and recovery planning.
