Chaos Engineering Primer

Explore chaos engineering principles and practices in this 57-minute Devoxx conference talk. Delve into failure injection techniques, analogous to vaccines, used to build system immunities. Learn about tools like the Simian Army, Chaos Lemur, and Locust.io through demonstrations. Understand how distributed systems fail and how to build confidence in resilient systems. Go beyond reliability, stability, and availability to develop a continuous process improvement program for production systems. Examine unpredictable outcomes in distributed systems, compounded by rare but disruptive real-world events. Discover the blueprint for living in a Black Swan world, risk management strategies, and the complexities of distributed computing. Analyze outages, backup strategies, and the principles of chaos. Explore the reference architecture for cloud-native platforms, with a focus on Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Gain insights into the importance of reliability, process improvement, and the testing pyramid. Conclude with lessons learned and recommendations for further reading in this comprehensive introduction to chaos engineering.
