What is the requirement for successful executions to resolve an outage?

For successful executions to resolve an outage, it is required that the executions must be one more than the locations required for the problem. This is important because resolving an outage effectively requires sufficient confidence that the system or application is functioning properly across various locations. By having one more successful execution than the minimum required, it accounts for variability and ensures that the solution is not only isolated to a singular location. This extra confirmation helps validate that the issue has been addressed across a wider range of monitoring locations, providing a more comprehensive assurance that the outage is truly resolved.

This approach is essential in complex environments where multiple components may interact or where network variability can impact outcomes. Just meeting the minimum requirements could lead to a false sense of security, as intermittent issues could resurface undetected if the validations are not robust.
