Abstract
In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, where reliability and resilience are paramount, the concept of chaos might seem counterintuitive. However, within this realm, chaos is not only embraced but actively harnessed as a means of ensuring systems are robust and capable of withstanding unexpected failures. At the heart of this approach lies a powerful methodology known as Chaos Engineering. Chaos Engineering is a disciplined approach to experimenting on distributed systems to build confidence in their resilience. It involves intentionally introducing controlled disruptions or failures into a system to observe how it responds under adverse conditions. This paper investigates and examines how Chaos Engineering techniques might be integrated into cloud-based systems and how this can affect Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) techniques. By simulating real-world failures in a controlled environment, organizations can identify weaknesses, uncover hidden dependencies, and improve the overall reliability of their systems.
