Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure do not need any formal introduction. They are two major players in the cloud computing and virtualization industry. AWS leads with about 32% market share. On the other hand, Azure is the next closest with about 17% market share. Both the tech giants, AWS and Azure, have been on an onward growth trajectory with revenue boosts coming in every quarter.
Terraform is an increasingly popular infrastructure-as-code tool for teams that manage cloud environments spanning many service providers.

This is a testament to the growth of Chaos Engineering as a practice across many different industries and around the world.
