         | that AWS are basically gods when I tell people that we're

         | gained is not having to argue with one vendor when that
         | happens, not two.

       | It's amazing to me that something I threw out in a meeting six
       | years ago became an entire engineering culture.
       | 
       | It all started when we were talking about what to call the folks
       | who were building things like Chaos Monkey/Gorilla/Kong and I
       | said, "Let's call them Chaos Engineers, since they are
       | engineering chaos". And so we adopted that title at Netflix, and
       | now here we are.
       | 
       | I should also point out here how valueless what I did was -- I
       | literally just came up with the name for what we were already
       | doing inside Netflix. Everyone else actually wrote it down and
       | spread it outside of Netflix. Their contributions to spreading
       | the word are far more important than the name I came up with.

         | injection, which has been around since 1970~?

           | Chaos Engineering is fault injection being incorporated as a
           | core aspect of a production system. So whereas in the 1970s
           | fault injection might have been more used in the development
           | and test phases, Chaos Engineering also includes a bunch of
           | persistent services knocking out key aspects of your
           | production system.
