Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.

I have to admit it: I'm not a huge fan of the cloud computing concept.

The idea of sustainability can imply there is one perfect, unchanging future, if only we could work out how to get there. Resilience might be more useful, in that it assumes a dynamic environment and that perfection is impossible. You need to design systems to accommodate failure rather than eliminate it. By trying to be perfect, many visions of sustainability are quite brittle
