Chaos engineering focuses on improving system resilience through controlled experiments, exposing the inherent chaos and failure modes in our system before they manifest in production and impact users. However, much of the publicized tools and articles focus on killing Amazon EC2 instances, and the efforts in the serverless community have been largely limited to moving those tools into Lambda functions. How can we apply the same principles of chaos to a serverless architecture built around AWS Lambda functions? Can we adapt existing practices to expose the inherent chaos in these systems? What are the limitations and new challenges that we need to consider? Come to this session and find out.
This session is part of re:Invent Developer Community Day, a series led by AWS enthusiasts who share first-hand, technical insights on trending topics.

Ever wondered how companies delivering global services like Amazon or Netflix are architecting and testing their software systems? If you are curious and want to learn how they do it - this session is for you!
With the rise of micro-services and large-scale distributed architectures, software systems have grow increasingly complex and hard to understand. Adding to that complexity, the velocity of software delivery has also dramatically increased, resulting in failures being harder to predict and contain. While the cloud allows for high availability, redundancy and fault-tolerance, no single component can guarantee 100% uptime. Therefore, we have to understand availability but especially learn how to design architectures with failure in mind. And since failures have become more and more chaotic in nature, we must turn to chaos engineering in order to identify failures before they become outages. In this talk, I will deep dive into availability, reliability and large-scale architectures and make an introduction to chaos engineering, a discipline that promotes breaking things on purpose in order to learn how to build more resilient systems.
Speaker: Adrian Hornsby - Technical Evangelist, AWS
Keynote delivered by Madhusudan Sekhar on the topic "Chaos Engineering: Why breaking things should be practiced" presented at AWS Community Day, Bangalore 2018
Are you a developer, operator, or business stakeholder who is banging your head against the wall because you cannot seem to deliver apps that make everyone happy? Have you thrown more tools, containers, or agile methods at this challenge than you can count?

Chaos Engineering: Why Breaking Things Should Be Practised.Adrian Hornsby
As presented at the AWS London Summit 2018
With the rise of micro-services and large-scale distributed architectures, software systems have grown increasingly complex and hard to understand. Adding to that complexity, the velocity of software delivery has also dramatically increased, resulting in failures being harder to predict and contain.
While the cloud allows for high availability, redundancy and fault-tolerance, no single component can guarantee 100% uptime. Therefore, we have to understand availability but especially learn how to design architectures with failure in mind.
And since failures have become more and more chaotic in nature, we must turn to chaos engineering in order to identify failures before they become outages.
In this talk, I will deep dive into availability, reliability and large-scale architectures and make an introduction to chaos engineering, a discipline that promotes breaking things on purpose in order to learn how to build more resilient systems.
Resiliency and Availability Design Patterns for the CloudAmazon Web Services
We have traditionally built robust software systems by trying to avoid mistakes and by dodging failures when they occur in production or by testing parts of the system in isolation from one another. Modern methods and techniques take a very different approach based on resiliency, which promotes embracing failure instead of trying to avoid it. Resilient architectures enhance observability, leverage well-known patterns such as graceful degradation, timeouts and circuit breakers but also new patterns like cell-based architecture and shuffle sharding. In this session, will review the most useful patterns for building resilient software systems and especially show the audience how they can benefit from the patterns.
The document discusses chaos engineering and building system resiliency. It defines chaos engineering as experimenting on distributed systems to build confidence in their ability to withstand turbulent conditions in production. It advocates breaking systems on purpose through failure injection experiments to discover weaknesses before they cause problems. The document provides examples of chaos engineering experiments at different levels including application, host, network, and region failures. It also covers principles for ensuring system reliability through approaches like infrastructure as code, immutable infrastructure, auto-scaling, and non-blocking architectures.
The document discusses preparing teams for a cloud transformation. It recommends forming a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE) with cross-functional two-pizza sized teams focused on delivering quick wins. The CCOE should include product managers, architects, engineers focused on infrastructure, security, operations and applications. It also recommends starting with a minimum viable cloud to build capability before fully migrating workloads and optimizing for cloud native architectures over time. Training, certification and leadership commitment are key to support the transformation.

ALB User Authentication: Identity Management at Scale with Netflix (NET204) -...Amazon Web Services
In the zero-trust security environment at Netflix, identity management has historically been a challenge due to the reliance on its VPN for all application access. About one year ago, Netflix began exploring various identity solutions to alleviate the operational burden of maintaining its VPN. Additionally, it was looking for ways to provide a superior user experience. Join this chalk talk to learn how Netflix solved identity management at scale.
With the wide adoption of micro-services and large-scale distributed systems, architectures have grown increasingly complex and hard to understand. Worse, the software systems running them have become extremely difficult to debug and test, increasing the risk of outages. With these new challenges, new tools are required and since failures have become more and more chaotic in nature, we must turn to chaos engineering in order to reveal failures before they become outages. In this talk, we will make an introduction to chaos engineering, a discipline that promotes breaking things on purpose in order to learn how to build more robust systems and we will deep dive into designing large-scale resilient architectures.
