The presentation discusses the complexity of modern computing systems and the need for proactive measures to prevent outages and incidents. It introduces the concept of chaos engineering and the open-source tool Curviz for Kubernetes security testing.
- Modern computing systems have evolved beyond human ability to mentally model their behavior, leading to increased outages and incidents.
- Software complexity only increases and cannot be decreased, making it challenging for operators to manage.
- Chaos engineering is a proactive approach to fixing issues and navigating inherent complexity.
- Curviz is an open-source tool for Kubernetes security testing, targeting low-hanging fruit such as CIS benchmarks and network configurations.
- Experiments can be run to test configurations and validate changes before they cause issues in production.
