Beyond the Monkeys: Chaos Engineering on the Cloud

Well-maintained applications have thorough unit tests, integration tests and performance tests. Despite this coverage, production incidents still occur due to infrastructure failures, network faults, or unexpected traffic patterns. These failures cannot be covered with traditional test suites. In this session, we will share how we adopted the open source Chaos Toolkit to test the resilience of an application on AWS.  We will discuss design decisions on entitlements, project structure, and cloud architecture that we consider when building out a chaos test suite.
