Introduction to Chaos & Reliability Engineering [Hands-On]

Chaos Engineering Bootcamp: A Hands-On Guide to Building Resilient Systems with Chaos ExperimentsChaos Engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a system in order to build confidence in the system's capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production. Advances in large-scale, distributed software systems are changing the game for software engineering. As an industry, we are quick to adopt practices that increase flexibility of development and velocity of deployment.

But with this increased complexity comes a new set of challenges: how much confidence can we have in the complex systems that we put into production. Even when all of the individual services in a distributed system are functioning properly, the interactions between those services can cause unpredictable outcomes. Unpredictable outcomes, compounded by rare but disruptive real-world events that affect production environments, make these distributed systems inherently chaotic.

Getting started with Chaos Engineering is easier than you think. In this 2-hour interactive workshop, we'll teach you the fundamentals of Chaos Engineering and provide hands-on experience with Chaos experiments. We'll provide all of the necessary tools, including the infrastructure, demo application, monitoring, and Gremlin.

In this comprehensive course, you'll learn how to design and run effective chaos experiments that improve the reliability of your Kubernetes cluster. Over the course, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the principles and best practices of Chaos Engineering. We'll cover a range of topics, including:The basics of Chaos Engineering and its importance for KubernetesHow to design effective chaos experiments that test different failure scenariosBest practices for implementing Chaos Engineering in KubernetesHow to use Chaos Mesh, a powerful open-source tool, to run and monitor chaos experiments in KubernetesTroubleshooting tips for common issues that arise during chaos experimentsBy the end of the course, you should have a clear understanding of the principles of Chaos Engineering; how to proactively increase the resilience of infrastructure, applications, and processes; hands-on application through popular tools, especially Litmus or Chaos Mesh.
