Available tests

Next generation Resilience Hub provides the following pre-configured test templates:

  • Availability Zone: recovery – Validate your service can detect and recover from an Availability Zone impairment.

  • Dependency validation – Validate how your service responds when its dependencies within the Region are impaired.

  • Multi-Region: isolation – Validate your service can operate independently from a Region when connectivity to another Region is unavailable.

  • Multi-Region: recovery – Validate your service can recover and serve clients from another Region within your recovery objectives when a Region is impaired.

Each test template declares the parameters it accepts, including whether each parameter is required and any default values.
