Redundancy Glossary Definition

Redundancy is a writing, research, or communication concept related to words used together that mean nearly the same thing. Also, the repetitive use of a word or phrase when that word or phrase could be replaced with another.

Redundancy is a DevOps operations and reliability concept used to observe service behavior, respond to failures, and improve resilience over time.

In professional and technical communication, redundancy helps writers plan, draft, revise, review, or present information in a way that fits the audience and purpose.

Site Reliability Engineering and operations teams use this concept to measure service health, investigate incidents, and turn operational learning into improvement.
