Build Stuff 2018

Are you ready to improve your resilience of your Cloud systems? In this 3-day, pay for, workshop Russ Miles will dive into Chaos Engineering so that you can build confidence in your systems behavior and identify weaknesses before they happen!

Chaos Engineering is a relatively new term for a practice that has been successfully applied by some of the largest and most complex production systems for some time. If you’re working with large-scale, complex systems then you will likely benefit from building confidence in your systems using the Chaos Engineering approach.

Chaos Engineering is an empirical discipline for defining experiments where the weaknesses of a complex, or even chaotic, system can be explored, discovered and eventually rectified. Most frequently practiced in Production, Chaos Engineering helps you learn about your system so that it can be continuously improved in the face of current and future conditions.

Key takeaways:
•    Demystify Chaos Engineering and explore how and why it is needed.    
•    Learn how to establish an culture, practice, architecture and design that is ready for Chaos Engineering.   •    Learn how to effectively Plan your own Game Days to collectively uncover system weaknesses with your team.    
•    Learn how to Design, Build and Execute careful and controlled Chaos Engineering experiments to learn about weaknesses in your complex production systems.  
•    Learn how to apply different levels of experiments to learn about different weaknesses.
