Chaos Engineering

Chaos Engineering

I first heard about Chaos Engineering when I read an article on Netflix's Chaos Monkey. The purpose of Chaos Monkey:

Chaos Monkey randomly terminates virtual machine instances and containers that run inside of your production environment. Exposing engineers to failures more frequently incentivizes them to build resilient services.        

Started wondering why would any one want to break a fully functional system intentionally? And that led to a deeper investigation which eventually landed on Chaos Engineering principles.

Gremlin is a tool to perform Chaos Engineering. As of now I have tried it in Ubuntu installed in a Virtualbox. Gotta explore further on how it behaves with Kubernetes and Containers.
