Smart Chaos: Leveraging Generative AI for Enhanced Chaos Engineering

Explore the intersection of chaos engineering and generative AI in this conference talk from Conf42 Chaos Engineering 2024. Delve into the complexities of modern enterprises and the limitations of traditional testing methods. Discover how chaos engineering methodologies can be enhanced through the application of generative AI, including comprehensive frameworks and practical examples using architecture diagrams and auto-generated service maps. Learn about dependency analysis, steady state definition, hypothesis creation, experiment design, and blast radius determination. Examine the Rumsfeld matrix to understand known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns in the context of smart chaos. Gain insights into automating the entire chaos engineering workflow, setting targets and states, and implementing best practices while avoiding potential pitfalls in leveraging generative AI for more effective chaos engineering strategies.
