Learning Chaos Engineering: Discovering and Overcoming System Weaknesses Through Experimentation (Paperback)

All Indian Reprints of O'Reilly are printed in Grayscale.

Most companies work hard to avoid costly failures, but in complex systems a better approach is to embrace and learn from them. Through chaos engineering, you can proactively hunt for evidence of system weaknesses before they trigger a crisis. This practical book shows software developers and system administrators how to plan and run successful chaos engineering experiments.

System weaknesses go beyond your infrastructure, platformsand applications to include policies, practices, playbooksand people. Author Russ Miles explains why, whenand how to test systems, processesand team responses using simulated failures on Game Days. You’ll also learn how to work toward continuous chaos through automation with features you can share across your team and organization.

• Learn to think like a chaos engineer
• Build a hypothesis backlog to determine what could go wrong in your system
• Develop your hypotheses into chaos engineering experiment Game Days
• Write, runand learn from automated chaos experiments using the open source Chaos Toolkit
• Turn chaos experiments into tests to confirm that you’ve overcome the weaknesses you discovered
• Observe and control your automated chaos experiments while they are running
