In today's digital landscape, service availability and reliable delivery are crucial for businesses of all kinds. To ensure reliability, it's essential to plan for fault tolerance and conduct rigorous testing. Chaos Engineering plays a critical role in testing the resistance of services, infrastructure, and apps for extreme events.
Chaos engineering involves intentionally injecting faults into a system to test its resilience. By doing so, businesses can identify potential failure points and correct them before they cause an actual outage or other disruption.
While many digital natives and large enterprises design and build their solutions with "Chaos in Mind," most of their in-house testing solutions depend on specialized test/development environments and do not fully comply with Chaos principles.
Fortunately, Azure Chaos Studio provides a fully managed chaos engineering experimentation platform for accelerating discovery of hard-to-find problems, from late-stage development through production. This platform offers access to a range of Chaos Engineering tools within Microsoft Azure and is designed to improve application resilience with chaos testing by deliberately introducing faults that simulate real-world outages.
