Chaos Engineering

Build resilient systems by breaking them. Learn to design and run chaos experiments using Gremlin and Chaos Mesh to prevent outages.

Hope is not a strategy. Chaos Engineering involves injecting controlled failure into systems to proactively identify weaknesses. This course teaches the scientific method of chaos: forming a hypothesis, running an experiment, and analyzing the blast radius. You will learn to simulate network latency, pod failures, and CPU spikes using tools like Gremlin and Chaos Mesh. Essential for SREs who want to ensure their systems survive the unpredictability of production.
