How we're using 'chaos engineering' to make cloud computing less vulnerable to cyber attacks
Cloud computing powers services from transportation and healthcare to streaming services. With nearly 3 in 4 companies going over their estimated cloud budgets, cloud overspend is a serious problem that undermines the cloud's many transformative benefits.
Keeping cloud costs in check requires a mix of human and tech solutions outlined in this compelling article.
What is chaos engineering?
Chaos engineering is a practice that involves deliberately introducing faults into cloud-based systems to observe how they respond under stress. This method helps identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system's design and operational practices. By simulating various scenarios, such as cyberattacks or service interruptions, organizations can better understand their systems' limits and improve their resilience.
How does chaos engineering improve cloud security?
Chaos engineering enhances cloud security by allowing organizations to test their systems against potential failures and cyberattacks. By systematically introducing faults and measuring the system's response, companies can uncover vulnerabilities that traditional performance tests might miss. This proactive approach helps strengthen the system, making it more capable of withstanding real-world cyber threats.
What are the benefits of the Unfragile framework?
The Unfragile framework integrates chaos engineering with adaptive strategies to improve cloud systems' resilience. By incrementally introducing failures and assessing the system's response, it helps identify vulnerabilities in real-time. This allows for timely fixes and modifications to the software, ultimately transforming the system to not only withstand stress but to become stronger as a result.
