dgt_sre08 – Chaos Engineering

Course Title: dgt_sre08 – Chaos Engineering

Overview:

Chaos Engineering is a fundamental discipline and practice crucial for testing the resilience of systems in production environments. This course, designed by our Talent Guardians team who developed “KubeInvaders,” offers an immersive experience into the world of chaos engineering. Participants will explore how to proactively identify weaknesses and improve system reliability through controlled experiments.

Course Objectives:

  • Understand the principles and benefits of chaos engineering.
  • Learn methodologies for designing and executing chaos experiments.
  • Explore real-world case studies where chaos engineering has enhanced resilience.
  • Gain hands-on experience with tools like KubeInvaders, designed to simulate chaotic scenarios in Kubernetes environments.
  • Develop strategies for incorporating chaos engineering into your organizations SRE practices.
