You kids have good life, try Oracle Cloud, let me show | you... oh sorry can't login now | qz2 wrote: | This made me laugh. I get shocked looks of disbelief and claims | that AWS are basically gods when I tell people that we're | losing packets in eu-west-1 occasionally. The only thing we | gained is not having to argue with one vendor when that | happens, not two. | jedberg wrote: | 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. | jackblemming wrote: | What's the difference between "Chaos Engineering" and fault | injection, which has been around since 1970~? | nyokodo wrote: | 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. | mjfl wrote: | I was hoping that this was going to teach me how to build an | altar to Khorne. | azhenley wrote: | For more resources, check out: | https://github.com/dastergon/awesome-chaos-engineering ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-10-26 23:00 UTC)
