Viewing AWS FIS experiments

In AWS Resilience Hub, view the AWS FIS experiments that you set up to measure the resiliency of your AWS resources and the amount of time it takes to recover from application, infrastructure, availability zone, and AWS Region incidents.

To view the list of active AWS FIS experiments from the dashboard, choose Dashboard from the left navigation menu.

In the Implemented experiments table, you can identify the AWS FIS experiments using the following information:

• Experiment ID – Identifier of the AWS FIS experiment.

• Action – Indicates the AWS FIS action associated with the AWS FIS experiment. Additionally, if there are more than one action, it highlights the number of AWS FIS actions associated with the AWS FIS experiment. You can identify the details by hovering over them or by navigating to them.

• Experiment template ID – Identifier of the AWS FIS experiment template that was used to create the AWS FIS experiment.

To view the list of implemented AWS FIS experiments from applications

1. In the left navigation menu, choose Applications.

2. Select an application from the Applications table.

   To find an application, enter the application name in the Find applications box.

3. Choose Fault injection experiments.

   In the Implemented experiments table, you can identify the AWS FIS experiments implemented in your application using the following information:

   • Experiment ID – Identifier of the AWS FIS experiment.

   • Action – Indicates the AWS FIS action associated with the AWS FIS experiment. Additionally, if there are more than one action, it highlights the number of AWS FIS actions associated with the AWS FIS experiment. You can identify the details by hovering over them or by navigating to them.

   • Experiment template ID – Identifier of the AWS FIS experiment template that was used to create the AWS FIS experiment.

To view the recommended AWS FIS experiments from assessments

1. In the left navigation menu, choose Applications.

2. Select an application from the Applications table.

   To find an application, enter the application name in the Find applications box.

3. Choose Assessments tab.

   In the Assessments table, you can identify your assessments using the following information:

   • Name – Name of the assessment you had provided at the time of creation.

   • Status – Indicates the execution state of the assessment.

   • Compliance status – Indicates if the assessment is compliant with the resiliency policy.

   • Resiliency – Indicates if your application has drifted from the RTO and RPO targets defined in the attached resiliency policy or not from the previous successful assessment.

   • App version – Version of your application that was assessed.

   • Invoker – Indicates the role that invoked the assessment.

   • Start time – Indicates the start time of the assessment.

   • End time – Indicates the end time of the assessment.

   • ARN – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the assessment.

4. Select an assessment from the Assessments table.

5. Choose Operational recommendations.

6. Choose the right arrow before Fault injection experiments.

   This section lists all the AWS FIS experiments recommended by AWS Resilience Hub for your application to stress-test and improve its resilience. Based on your implementation, the AWS FIS experiments are categorized into the following states:

   • Implemented – Indicates that the experiments recommended by AWS Resilience Hub are implemented in your application. Choose the number below to view all the implemented experiments in the Experiments table.

   • Partially implemented – Indicates that the experiments recommended by AWS Resilience Hub are partially implemented in your application. Choose the number below to view all the partially implemented experiments in the Experiments table.

   • Not implemented – Indicates that the experiments recommended by AWS Resilience Hub are unimplemented in your application. Choose the number below to view all the unimplemented experiments in the Experiments table.

   • Excluded – Indicates that the experiments recommended by AWS Resilience Hub are excluded from your application. Choose the number below to view all the excluded experiments in the Experiments table. For more information about including and excluding recommended experiments, see Including or excluding operational recommendations.

   Experiments table lists all the implemented AWS FIS experiments that impact the resiliency score of your application. You can identify the AWS FIS experiments using the following information:

   • Action name – Indicates the AWS FIS action recommended for your application. When the State is set to Not trackable, it indicates that the AWS FIS experiment is a scenario. Choose the scenario name to view its details on the Scenario library page in the AWS FIS console.

   • State – Indicates the current implementation state of the AWS FIS experiment. That is, Implemented, Partially implemented, Not implemented, and Excluded.

     Note

     AWS FIS scenario is a console-only feature with multiple predefined actions. Hence, AWS Resilience Hub cannot track it and it will set the State to Not trackable.

   • Description – Describes the objective of the AWS FIS action.
