| Abstract: |
The article discusses strategies for the prevention and management of software failures and system failures, particularly in large-scale distributed systems operating in cloud computing environments, arguing in favor of inducing system failures to develop system resilience during the design process. Topics include redundancy, fault tolerance, Game Days, and autonomous agents known as "monkeys" that can be used to induce system failures. Companies mentioned include the video streaming company Netflix Inc. |
