Resilience is a critical part of your environment and affects the quality of service your users experience.

The capabilities within this area help you implement a strategy to avoid downtime during outages or unprecedented situations and continue operations.

Support capability
Support is the ability to troubleshoot an environment, ask questions, submit tickets, integrate into existing ticketing systems, and escalate issues to an appropriate entity for a timely response depending on criticality and support level. Support may also require granting access to relevant resources to perform troubleshooting and remediation activities.
