Fast track to chaos engineering

Russ Miles (ChaosIQ)
9:00—17:00 Monday, 4 November—Tuesday, 5 November
Location: M3

Participants should plan to attend both days of training course. Note: to attend training courses, you must be registered for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Tuesday.

Build confidence in your systems' behavior and identify weaknesses before they happen. Join Russ Miles on a deep dive into chaos engineering and learn how to apply it in your organization.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

  • Learn to establish a culture, practice, architecture, and design that's ready for chaos engineering
  • Be able to design, build, and execute careful and controlled chaos engineering experiments to learn about weaknesses in your complex production systems
  • Discover different levels of experiments to learn about different weaknesses
  • Explore real-world examples and samples to see the concepts of chaos engineering in action

Who is this presentation for?

  • You're a software developer, site reliability engineer, or DevOps practitioner

Level

Intermediate

Hardware and/or installation requirements:

  • A laptop with the Chaos Toolkit installed
  • Access to GitHub

Outline

  • What is chaos engineering and why do I need it?

  • Working with experiments and chaos in practice
  • Establishing prerequisites to chaos engineering
  • Architecting and designing for chaos
  • Chaos and testing
  • Building a hypothesis for a chaos engineering experiment
  • Minimizing the impact of experiments: Understanding your experiment’s blast radius, scope, and opt-out
  • Designing and implementing steady state monitoring for your system
  • Defining a chaos engineering experiment
  • Defining steady state probes
  • Defining experimental methods
  • Defining continuous state probes
