Companies like Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and Uber have been using chaos engineering for years to make their systems more reliable. By breaking systems on purpose with Chaos Engineering, engineers can find vulnerabilities and address them before they result in downtime and lost revenue.

The 2017 ITIC Cost of Downtime survey finds that 98% of organizations say a single hour of downtime costs more than $100,000. And a record one-third of enterprises report that one hour of downtime costs their firms $1 million to more than $5 million. 

This whitepaper provides a comprehensive introduction to the discipline of Chaos Engineering including why it is more needed than ever, how to get started, and best practices to maximize learning and reduce risk.

You’ll learn how to:

• cut the risk of downtime

• in a controlled manner implement failures to confidently combat them when they arise

• learn your system's vulnerabilities by performing experiments on them

• avoid wasting time and money responding to system outages by getting ahead  

Learn the basics of Chaos Engineering: discover the tools, tests, and culture needed to create better software and prevent outages and downtime.
