Definition

Practice of intentionally introducing failures to test system resilience. Like conducting fire drills to ensure everyone knows how to respond to emergencies.

Real-World Example

Netflix practices chaos engineering by randomly terminating servers in production to verify their systems can handle failures gracefully.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

AWS, Azure, and GCP offer specific tools for chaos engineering, allowing users to simulate failures and test system resilience. OCI currently does not have a dedicated service.
