Learn to build resilient cloud infrastructure specifically designed for higher education Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in this 20-minute conference talk from Conf42 SRE 2025. Explore the unique challenges and requirements of educational institutions' ERP systems, including student information systems, financial management, and academic scheduling platforms. Discover how to implement microservices architecture tailored for educational workloads, establishing education-specific Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that account for academic calendars, enrollment periods, and seasonal traffic patterns. Master the implementation of comprehensive observability stacks to monitor complex educational workflows, and understand how to apply chaos engineering principles within educational contexts to test system resilience during critical periods like registration and grading. Examine automated remediation workflows that can handle common educational system failures, and learn to design resilient API gateway architectures that can manage the diverse integrations typical in higher education environments. Gain insights into implementing immutable infrastructure for scaling during peak academic periods, and understand how to integrate security as code practices with continuous compliance monitoring to meet educational data protection requirements. The presentation covers practical strategies for maintaining high availability and performance of mission-critical educational systems while ensuring data security and regulatory compliance.
