Chaos Eeering teaches you to design and execute controlled expents that uncover hidden problems.

Summary

Auto eeers test the safety of a car by intentionally crashing it and carefully observing the results. Chaos eeering applies the same principles to software systems. In Chaos Eeering: Site reliability through controlled disruption, you'll learn to run your applications and infrastructure through a series of tests that simulate real-life failures. You'll maximize the benefits of chaos eeering by learning to think like a chaos eeer, and how to design the proper expents to ensure the reliability of your software. With examples that cover a whole spectrum of software, you'll be ready to run an intensive testing regime on anything from a simple WordPress site to a massive distributed system running on Kubernetes.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology

Can your network survive a devastating failure? Could an accident bring your day-to-day operations to a halt? Chaos eeering simulates infrastructure outages, component crashes, and other calamities to show how systems and staff respond. Testing systems in distress is the best way to ensure their future resilience, which is especially important for complex, large-scale applications with little room for down.

About the book

Chaos Eeering teaches you to design and execute controlled expents that uncover hidden problems. Learn to inject system-shaking failures that disrupt system calls, networking, APIs, and Kubernetes-based microservices infrastructures. To help you practice, the book includes a able Linux VM image with a suite of preconfigured tools so you can expent quickly-without risk.

What's inside

Inject failure into processes, applications, and virtual machines

Test software running on Kubernetes

Work with both open source and legacy software

Simulate database connection latency

Test and improve your team's failure response

About the reader
