Fault injection

In the meantime, start breaking things. Not in your user-facing environment. We have the ability to spin up copies of our service landscape using Terraform. By experimenting with failure in a low-risk place, it is possible to pinpoint potential deficiencies while minimizing blast radius. Netflix pioneered the emerging science of chaos engineering on AWS—more information can be found on the Chaos Monkey GitHub page (https://netflix.github.io/chaosmonkey/).

Reliability testing

In our earlier work with Terraform, we have seen how it requires a plan before an apply. This test-driven approach can be applied to our services too. Turn off an instance. No problem because our load balancer shifts all traffic...

Keery

Sean Keery began hacking obscure video game systems at the age of 13. Sean then developed interpersonal skills while teaching snowboarding. Nowadays, Cloud Foundry, choreography, containers and plenty of .io. Cluster deployments, IaaS independence, and his studies for a master's in data science keep Sean occupied. The daily commute is filled with podcasts and chipmunk bunny hops. Some family time, spicy food, a good book, and wrecking the latest toys keep Sean busy at home.

Harber

Clive Harber has been programming computers since he was 13, when Commodore Basic was all the rage and the internet, as an idea, was something that was only just starting to appear in films such as WarGames. Fast-forward a decade, he gained a master's degree in chemical engineering from University of Wales, Swansea, which he used briefly in a stint when he worked in a semi-conductor foundry making microchips. Not being totally satisfied with this, he decided to change fields and learn how to write stuff for the internet. Now, he runs his own consultancy, Distorted Thinking, providing services to organizations that find themselves in digital transition, whether that's software changes or infrastructure to cloud service migration.
