Creating chaos in containers
06-19, 17:20–18:00 (Europe/Berlin), Frannz Salon

Chaos engineering is hard, in containers it is even harder.
This session will show attendees the considerations and get them started on their way to making more resilient applications in the cloud


Chaos engineering is not a new concept, it has been around since 2011. The benefit of knowing the weak spots of your application before it actually breaks is extremely valuable.
But with containers, this becomes bit more complicated. There are many layers of possible failure running under your application.

In this session you will learn more about the different layers you should be releasing your chaos experiments on, the considerations you need to take into account while testing a shared platform, and also learn about the tooling available to accomplish this.

He has extensive experience with AWS Cloud technologies, DevOps and Agile practices and implementations, containers, Kubernetes, virtualization, and modern applications.

He is constantly trying to bridge the gap between Developers and Operators to allow all of us provide a better service for our customers (and not wake up from pages in the middle of the night). He is an avid practitioner of dissolving silos - educating Ops how to code and explaining to Devs what the hell is Operations.

Automation is the way things should be done - and he is constantly looking for ways to make life easier wherever he can.
