Conclusion

The discipline of chaos engineering has come a long way over the last decade. It has been adopted across a variety of industries, and has helped organizations create resilient services and increase customer satisfaction. (For examples of how organizations have implemented these practices, see Chaos Engineering Stories.) Chaos engineering is enabling organizations to reduce risks for their mission-critical applications by injecting controlled faults at all levels of their application stack, including cloud provider services. Having the capability to impact an entire application stack in a controlled way allows for continuous resilience, improvement in operational excellence, observability, and recovery-oriented architecture without the stress of production outages. This approach also leads to better resilience testing practices across the organization. To start embracing chaos engineering, run a chaos game day or workshop to showcase the value that chaos engineering can provide to your organization.
