### Shared dependency without redundancy `shared-dependency-without-redundancy` (error)

- Page: https://localhost:3000/catalogue/rules/shared-dependency-without-redundancy.md
- Why: The design requires redundant discovery, but this DNS or coordination service, which everything depends on, runs on a single provider or a single replica. Its failure is the whole system's failure.
- Applies to: every node of kind dns or coordination-service
- Message: Shared dependency '{{node.id}}' is not redundant, but the design requires redundant discovery.

It fires when:

- all of these hold:
  - the design requirement `availability.discoveryRedundant` is true
  - any of these hold:
    - the node's `redundantProviders` is false
    - the node's `replicated` is false

# Alibaba Cloud DNS PrivateZone: private DNS zones resolved only inside the VPCs they are bound to,
# so the records never appear in public DNS ("What is Alibaba Cloud DNS PrivateZone"). Public
# authoritative DNS is Alibaba Cloud DNS instead (alibaba-dns).
