REL08-BP03 Integrate resiliency testing as part of your deployment
Resiliency tests (using the
principles of
chaos engineering
These tests are staged and run in the pipeline in a pre-production environment. They should also be run in production as part of game days.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Medium
Implementation guidance
-
Integrate resiliency testing as part of your deployment. Use Chaos Engineering, the discipline of experimenting on a workload to build confidence in the workload’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production.
-
Resiliency tests inject faults or resource degradation to assess that your workload responds with its designed resilience.
-
These tests can be run regularly in pre-production environments in automated deployment pipelines.
-
They should also be run in production, as part of scheduled game days.
-
Using Chaos Engineering principles, propose hypotheses about how your workload will perform under various impairments, then test your hypotheses using resiliency testing.
