Office Hours: How to test zone redundancy using Gremlin

Jun 13, 2024

•Part of the Gremlin Office Hours series: A monthly deep dive with Gremlin experts. Join us for the next one→ https://www.gremlin.com/officehours

Zone failures are rare, but they still happen. When an entire zone fails, many of the most common redundancy techniques fail. How do you avoid outages like these, especially if they affect an entire datacenter?

In this webinar, we’ll show you how to prepare for zone outages using Gremlin. You’ll learn how Gremlin’s built-in reliability tests and Scenarios already test your services against zone failures. You’ll also learn how to customize these tests to target different zones, how to recreate an outage in a different zone from the ones your systems are running in, and how to monitor your services throughout using Health Checks.

We'll cover:

  • How to recreate a zone failure using Gremlin Scenarios
  • Expanding zone failure tests to your dependencies
  • Customizing zone redundancy tests for AWS
  • Monitoring your services during experiments using Health Checks
