Prerequisites for Chaos Engineering

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Lists four concrete prerequisites: instrumentation (metrics/logs) to detect control vs experimental differences, social buy-in and alignment so people know and will act on results, and hypotheses that can be upheld (fix known failures first). Research interviews with ~50 organizations show Kafka and Kubernetes in production often run by novices, yet 83% plan chaos programs this year. Recommends lightweight built exercises like game days in staging and integrating experiments with CI/CD; simple logging works, production testing is optional.
