Workshop: Chaos Engineering Bootcamp

Location: Liberty, 8fl.

Duration: 9:00am - 12:00pm

Day of week: Tuesday

Level: Beginner

Key Takeaways

  • Learn how to use chaos engineering with your infrastructure

  • Understand how to use chaos engineering tools

Prerequisites

  • A basic understanding of production environments and the infrastructure required to run systems
  • Some experience with Linux, cloud infrastructure, hardware, networking, and systems troubleshooting

Chaos engineering is the facilitation of controlled experiments to uncover systemic weaknesses. 

Tammy Butow and Ana Medina lead a hands-on tutorial on chaos engineering, covering the tools and practices you need to implement chaos engineering in your organization. Even if you’re already using chaos engineering, you’ll learn to identify new ways to use chaos engineering within your engineering organization and discover how other companies are using chaos engineering—and the positive results they have had using chaos to create reliable distributed systems.
