What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
Most people have heard about Netflix’s Chaos Monkey. However, not everyone understands why they are randomly killing virtual machine instances in their infrastructure.
That practice called Chaos Engineering is one of the ways towards more resilient applications and ultimately a more reliable internet.
During this talk we will introduce you to the ideas behind Chaos Engineering, the benefits it brings to your business and how to get started. We’ll walk you through what we like to call: ‘The 5W’s of Chaos Engineering: What, Why, When, Where and Who’.
