Chaos Engineering: How to create an automated Chaos Gauntlet with Gremlin and Jenkins on AWS

In this video, we will demonstrate how to use Gremlin and Jenkins to create an automated Chaos Gauntlet. This will be done using Jenkins Pipelines and Stages to inject a controlled amount of failure with the Gremlin API. We then add a final stage that allows you to optionally halt the attack from the pipeline, rather than having to wait for the full duration of the attack.

Identifying Hidden Dependencies - Liz Fong Jones

You don't need to write automation or deploy on Kubernetes to gain benefits from resilience engineering! Learn how Honeycomb improved the reliability of our Zookeeper, Kafka, and stateful storage systems through terminating nodes on purpose. We'll discuss the initial manual experiments we ran, the bugs in our automatic replacement tools we uncovered, and what steps we needed to progress towards continuously running the experiments. Today, no node at Honeycomb lives longer than 12 months, and we automatically recycle nodes every week.

Lead Times and Psychological Safety within the Five Ideals - Gene Kim

The biggest challenges engineering organizations face are not technical. They’re fundamental problems with how we think and go about doing work, and the environments that we work in. In this talk, Gene Kim will share the Five Ideals and how they relate to Chaos Engineering. He’ll also show how the Five Ideals help build stronger, better performing, and ultimately more reliable companies.
