Explain why it is important to use diverse technologies to support distributed systems in situations where system availability is critical.
What will be an ideal response?
The use of diverse technologies provides some protection against common
vulnerabilities in different elements of the distributed system. Availability is
enhanced by distributing assets so that attacks on one element do not disable the
entire system. If diverse technologies are used, it reduces the chances that an attack
on all elements of the system will be successful.
